15 CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER 1005 Code CABAR In and Out of Kongo San Chester Kongo San is one of those interesting out of the way places that one reads about but few have an opportunity to see. Starting out from the southern portion of Manchuria, we travel through part of Korea and eventually reach Kongo San, founded by Buddhist Monks many hundreds of years ago in an almost inaccessible nook surrounded by high mountains. Here is situated a 500-year-old monastery in which a colony of 100 monks live in almost complete isolation. Journeying on, we pass the beautiful Three Day Lake, named from the fact that its beauty enchanted the Princess who discovered it, so that for three days she gazed in rapture, forgetting either to eat or sleep. The Kongo River flows through the middle of the valley, being fed by waterfalls, some of which we are permitted to see. The Flying Phoenix and the Fall of the Nine Dragons are wonderfully picturesque and fall from great height. With the cameraman we climb to the Pinnacle of the Clouds, from which we gain an extensive view of the wild, mountainous country. And descending again we get our final view of Kongo San from the sea. 775 feet standard length Rental $1.00 1006 Code CABER Old China and New Chester-Outing A most interesting travel scenic. Much of the trip was taken by boat along the labyrinthine canal system which covers much of the country. The first part of the trip is over a canal which was old as long ago as 486 B. C. Myriads of boats are seen everywhere, and an innumerable number of very picturesque arch bridges span the canals at frequent intervals. One junk-boat-building establishment looks as if it could furnish all the boats required in China. Riverside laundries are seen everywhere, and towing barges by man power seems to be a favorite method of transportation. A curious irrigating pump worked by coolies as a treadmill is followed by pictures of duck growing, fishing and picturesque sailing junks. The leaning Pagoda of Su-Chow is reminiscent of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 804 feet standard length Rental $1.00 1007 Code CABIR Greece Post Greece is interesting to all the world as the home of ancient beauty. Modern Greece treasures and preserves the wonderful remains of her former architectural splendor and we are here privileged to see the Parthenon, Acropolis, Propylaea, Erechtheum, Theseion, Temple of Zeus, Odeion of Herodes and many other famous buildings. In our journey we also see many typical scenes, such as close-ups of the people, markets, churches and houses. 940 feet standard length Rental $1.25 To secure subjects of your own choice
