Pathex Motion Pictures 55 "A Modern Coke Oven" From Pathe Review No. B 31 One Reel $1.75 The source of the substance that kept a great many of our home fires burning during the coal scarcity of last Winter. Giant ovens that gobble up whole carloads of bituminous coal, to disgorge them as flaming masses of coke, which when cooled by thousands of gallons of water, are sent to consumers. "Makers of Music" From Pathe Review No. B 32 One Reel $1.75 Fashioning the ukulele, appealing instrument of Hawaii, from the raw wood to the finished article, with glimpses of this product in use in its native land serving as the accompaniment for dancers on "The Beach of Waikiki." "A Fork Factory" From Pathe Review No. B 33 One Reel $1.75 The intricate processes employed in the manufacture of our most common table utensil. How the designs, cut out in steel, stamp out the metal, which later acquires a finish of pure silver in electro-plating tanks, and after burnishing is fit for the most fastidious hostess. "The Silk Moth" From Pathe Review No. B 34 One Reel $1.75 Showing the original source of milady's delightful finery — a little silk worm. He spins his cocoon and emerges, a beautiful moth. "How Golf Clubs Are Made" From Pathe Review No. B 35 One Reel $1.75 Turning out the combinations of wood and metal that constitute your implements of warfare for the weekly attack on Colonel Bogey. "A Pineapple Plantation in Hawaii" From Pathe Review No. B 36 One Reel $1.75 How the favorite food of tropical people, now consumed all over the world, is cultivated, picked and canned for our table. "Ticklish Tasks" From Pathe Review No B 37 One Reel $1.75 How do you like your job? Would you change places with the steeplejack, hanging onto a slim flagpole hundreds of feet in the air, with nothing beneath him but space? Or the diver, on the sea bottom? Or the iron worker, riding a steel beam on the fortieth story of a new building? Or the operator who runs the aerial ferry on a slim cable over Niagara's Whirlpool Rapids? All of them are shown at their occupations in this thriller.
