Pathex Motion Pictures 47 "Some Monkey Types" No. A 5 One Reel $1.00 Just like taking youngsters to the zoo, and not onethird the trouble! Shows all kinds of monkeys — orangs, lemurs, spider monkeys, howling monkeys — and some almost human monkeys. "The Cuttle Fish" No. A 6 One Reel $1.00 A fish walking on its head! Yet that is exactly how this strange inhabitant of the ocean depth moves about. You of course, are familiar with the cuttle bone on which "Dickey bird" sharpens his bill and you here see the source of that bone in action. "The Death's Head Hawk Moth" No. A 7 One Reel $1.00 The life story of this unusual insect, which acquired its name from the outline of a skull or "death's head" on its back. Burrowing into the ground two months after its birth, the caterpillar emerges as a full-grown moth, its beautiful wings capable of a six-inch span. "The Elephants' Bath" No. A 8 One Reel $1.00 The sacred pachyderms of India, shower-bathing themselves at the behest of their riders. And besides, they are shown in a variety of strange occupations. "The Frog" No. A 9 One Reel $1.00 Illustrating the processes of nature in this unusual creature, which, beginning its life as a native of the water with gills and tail, finally grows strongly developed legs, and emerges as a land animal. "The Otter" No. A 10 One Reel $1.00 Fishing without rod and reel — and getting the big ones, too! One view shows this interesting aquatic animal catching an eel nearly as long as himself. "The Sacred Beetle" No. A 11 One Reel $1.00 An insect which rolls its food into a ball and then propels it backward with its rear legs to its dwelling place! "Carnivores" No. A 12 One Reel $1.00 How the meat-eating breeds are endowed by nature with keen eyes and ears, to enable them to catch their quarry. Hunting by night, with their "whiskers" as an aid in feeling their way, their silent, padded feet give the prey no inkling of their coming. How their strong claws, sheathed in repose, are quickly brought into action to catch and hold an enemy, and the giant teeth that constitute their chief weapons of offense. The lion, tiger, bear, wolf and other animals are portrayed.
