"Francis Goes To West Point" -- A Pictorial Synopsis Starring Donald 0'Connor his famous talking mule pal, this is the third of the comedy series which has proved a box-office bonanza. Emphasizing youth in its cast and telling a story placing the mule in a likely and natural setting, it is the best of the series. Featured roles go to young U-I discoveries, Lori Nelson, Alice Kelley, Palmer Lee, William Reynolds. Screenplay is by Oscar Brodney, direction by Arthur Lubin, production by Leonard Goldstein for Universal-International. The story in pictures: Peter establishes another kind of record and soars to the head of his class. Corp. Ransom demands to know how he has done it, and when Peter insists it's the mule, Ransom orders the fresh Plebe to walk punishment in the Academy yard where first year men pay for their sins in shoe leather.

They watched in awe. They followed. And they were tempted... Let's get fell in, they said. Left, right, left, right, everything going fine. And, heads up, chests out, the three young sightseers paced alongside the striding Guardsman outside Buckingham Palace. Then, suddenly, it was all a matter of the left not being right. Or, in short, confusion about all goes to show (as they admitted to their parents later) that there's more in this marching business than you think.

Unknown Wolf Cub Upholds Honour of The Guards -- Here was their chance to do the best ever "Good Deed" for the Day." The Guardsman's bootlace had come undone. To and from he marched, outside Buckingham Palace, carrying on his square shoulders all the Guards' traditions of perfect discipline which forbade him even to notice it. The Wolf Cubs, like quivering angles of Mercy on the leash, waited for the Guardsman to finish his patrol. He halted - Crash! Right turn-Crash! Order arms - Crash! Stand at ease - Crash! One of the Cubs sprang forwards. In a moment he had tied the lace in three reef knots, a double sheep shank, a clove hitch and tucked the ends out of sight. The sentry stared stoically ahead. The guards, heroes of a thousand battles, had been saved by a little boy in a green and yellow cap who had done his "Good Deed for the Day". April 25, 1951.
