The House of Squib, manufacturing chemist to the medical profession since 1858, brings you Academy Award. The pictures, the players, the techniques and skills which have won or been nominated for, the coveted awards granted each year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to each in his field for outstanding achievement.

The House of Squib, makers of the great family of Squib medicinal products, today brings you John Garfield in Pride of the Marines with Rosemary De Camp. Pride of the Marines is the dramatic picture which was nominated for the 1945 Academy Award as the best Britain screenplay of the year.

In its way it's the story of other heroic American fighting men too, whose qualities in battle, whose qualities in the even grimmer struggle for rehabilitation, made these American

soldiers the pride of the free world. This is the story of a boy who's the pride of the Marines. Al Schmidt, United States Marine Corps. The story of Al Schmidt begins on an island where the scourge of the Japanese advance was first checked.
