Description: "Shows a Nobel Prize notification, then shifts to a close-up of Nobel as a laborator, he is searching for a way to harness nitroglycerin. He discovers it by soaking into white clay, and thus accidently discovers dynamite. A montage follows of the commercial uses of dynamite, all of which advance mankind's progress. The commentator in this film is strangely subjective, but entertaining as well as educational." California. "This is a most outstanding presentation, photographically. The film's principal problem is unusually well handled." Wilber Emmert
