# See These Movies! Free Showing (National War Finance Committee)

A bomber's searchlight beams light four circles naming films (Victory First, Target Berlin, War Department Report, Canadian Army Sing-Song) over a crowd, with a blank space for the venue after 'Free showing at'. The tell is the bomber and the packed audience, which tie the film programme to the war effort and show a crowd already attending.
