The Glory that was Morocco…these picturesque Kasbahsor medieval fortresses once held back desert hordes…today they stand a grim monument to a civilization that has vanished.

AVA HAMILTON
The well known explorer is a descendant of an old southern family. The U.S.S. Paul Hamilton, the new destroyer, that was recently launched at Charleston, South Carolina was named by the U. S. Navy in honor of her great-great-grandfather.

Ava Hamilton has spent almost her entire life abroad. She has lived in many foreign countries and has traveled extensively in all parts of the world. She is a gifted linguist, an artist and a graduate of the Sorbonne in Paris.

Recently she returned from four years in Africa and has spoken before representative audiences from Coast to Coast …Town Halls, Forums, Geographical Societies, Museums, Universities, Clubs and hundreds of other organizations.

The Dawn of Victory‐A most timely program!

See our own soldiers in action …the country in which they are fighting… the people with whom they are coming in contact… see all the places about which you are reading in the headlines.

These up-to-the-minute pictures taken by war department photographers are added to Ava Hamilton's own beautiful color film, the Dawn of Victory, which expresses the mystery and exotic charm of French North Africa, where medieval culture is still unspoiled.

The film also shows beautiful scenes of the desert, picturesque oases, wild tribesmen and the difficult route across the Sahara traversed by the Free Fighting French under General de Gaulle.

Dawns Over Africa

Ava Hamilton's beautiful and thrilling film-lecture of central Africa, has received most enthusiastic praise from critical audiences from Coast to Coast. It is available to organizations, who have not yet had the opportunity of seeing this unusual and vivid portrayal of primitive savage Africa with its wealth of wild animal life, including many of the rarer species. Spectacular scenes of the eruption of the volcano of Nyamlagira are also shown. These were photographed by Ava Hamilton from the edge of the crater.

Ava Hamilton is a charter member of the Inter-American Society of Anthro-pology and Geography, a member of the Society of Woman Geographers, the Na-tional League of American Penwomen, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the United States Daughters of 1812, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the National Geographic Society, the American Museum of Natural History, L'Alliance Fiancaise and the Friends of Free France.

Your color motion pictures…are indeed most exceptional and far surpass any other African film that it has been my good fortune to see.‐Russell Potter, Columbia University.
