## What the record holds

The snapshot holds one frame, dated 1943. The maker line names the U.S. Army and Frank Capra's orientation series, and it calls this the fourth film. The transcription field is empty. The series title printed on the catalog record is not the title of this page.

The essay that leads with the first film, and that does not take the series name as its heading, is Prelude to War (1942).
