Inside View

Not since Abraham Lincoln's day have the U. S. people had access, except through occasional formal photographs, to the upper floors of the official home which they provide for their President. This week THE MARCH OF TIME exhibits upon the nation's movie screens a cinema sequence describing the Presidency in intimate visual detail, including many shots of the White House upstairs as it now looks during the occupancy of the Franklin D. Roosevelts. For the first time since Lincoln, the public can look out through the front portico from the upper hall, out to the Monument from the President's Study, around the Study at Mr. Roosevelt's ship models and family portraits.

Made by special permission as a semi-public document, the film was withheld from release by Mr. Roosevelt until after Election Day lest it seem that he was exploiting his official home for campaign purposes. Sound-track was made in only a few scenes, used in none, and wise Press Secretary Steve Early warned his chief against lip readers in the audience. Against the White House background are portrayed in swift review the main events of the Roosevelt administration, down to and through this year's Election.
