46 Pathbx Motion Pictures Animal Life ^SKnROM the four corners of the earth, and from the jl~^pi realms of sky and water, your Pathex brings jfe^tj to your living room actual scenes and character*-*-' — •* istlcs in the life of the lower order of living things dominated by man. You may be thrilled by Charles Gays, "At Home with Lions" as he puts the great cats through their paces, allows them to mass themselves on top of him, and wrestles with them in rough playfulness. Then see the sacred elephants of India, using their trunks as shower-bath apparatus; or the sacred beetle which rolls its food into a ball and then propells it backward with its hind legs to its dwelling place; and watch Bill and Bob, in "A Meeting with Reynard," catch the wily fox, and then pitying him, turn him loose in his forest wild. Truly, entertaining as well as instructive subjects for the entire family. "At Home With Lions" No. A 1 One Reel $1.00 Charles Gays, famous wild animal trainer, enters the arena with a number of monarchs of the jungle. You can see him wrestling with them, putting them through the tricks he has patiently taught them, and demonstrating his control of their every movement. A graphic lesson in the dominance of man over beast. "Bees" No. A 2 One Reel $1.00 Maeterlink's "Life of the Bee" made graphic to your eyes! An intimate glimpse into the daily doing of these remarkable insects. You can see the queen, the drones, the workers at their tasks; egg laying and the murder of an intruding wasp. "Hunting Monkeys" No. A 3 One Reel $1.00 How the stupid Simians are easily caught in their native haunts by the natives who place fruit in a calabash and hang the latter on a tree. The monkey inserts his hand to grasp the fruit, and unable to withdraw the hand with the prize in its grasp, submits to capture rather than let go of the bait. "The Jelly Fish" No. A 4 One Reel $1.00 The lowest form of animal life moving before your eyes! It is not given to everyone to see these mysterious creatures in their habitat; beautiful transparent forms whose touch sears living flesh like hot iron.
