30 Pathex Motion Pictures "Football Form" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 4 One Reel $1.00 Rough, rude sport with the survival of the fittest for its theme — and the making of powerful, active men. See these lusty young fellows "lay it in" to one another. Some of the film is slowed down, and you will see the ideal methods of tackling both in the line and out on the open field. "The Water Baby" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 5 One Reel $1.00 The swimming tricks of Jackie Ott, aged five years — including a high dive in perfect form, and the towing of a two-hundred pound man from a place of danger in the water to safety, illustrating why we have so many youthful Olympic champions. "Tennis Form" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 6 One Reel $1.75 Fast and slow motion pictures of Tilden and Johnston in action, showing the superb form which makes court champions. And Helen Wills and Miss Clayton, British star, play part of a match to show the strength and speed that now marks the game among the gentler sex. "Ski Jumping" No. E 7 One Reel $1.00 A leap of sixty or seventy feet or more, down a snowclad hillside, on long, narrow wooden snowshoes or "skis." Here the operation is filmed, with two and three jumpers in air at once. There are mishaps, trick leaps and action all the time in this exemplification of the most thrilling of winter sports.
