The narrator states that each spider is given its own "private room" as they tend to eat each other. However, the woman putting spiders into the jars is shown putting two spiders into the left small jar. (There is a cut between the two though, so it's possibly an editing error.)

Passing Parade

Trifles That Win Wars (1943)

*** (out of 4)

Third film in a series of "trigles" shorts from MGM and their Passing Parade. This time we get three more stories that involve items that were being used in the war. The first story tells us how after the Civil War when it was harder to get ivory from Africa, a cue ball company opened a contest to see what they could use to make an effective ball. The second story deals with a car wreck victim whose wife had shattered glass in her face. The scientist, thanks to a strange twist, invited how to make shatter-proof glass. The final story takes a look at a spider and how its web is so important to winning the war. All three stories are pretty good and will certainly keep one entertained through the short 9-minutes. These Passing Parade entries were always good for teaching us about bits of history that we might not know about all these stories are nice additions. As usual, the narration by John Nesbitt is very good and certainly helps bring you into the stories.
