Scope and content
The programme includes a detailed synopsis of 'Song of The Alps' (English language version) [probably the film 'Der Sohn der weißen Berge'] with stills from the film, and the text of 'The Erl King' poem by Goethe and images from the film, described in the programme as 'A weirdly beautiful picturisation of Goethe's poem'. [This seems to be the 1930 film 'Le roi des aulnes'].
The programme also includes screening times and a coupon for the 'Magic Screen' mailing list.
