CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs 18 REEL NO. TTTT.E PRODUCER 1018 Code CACOR Considering Posey Chester All. about llamas. A remarkable, sure-footed beast of burden used in the upper Andes in South America. We are told that these llamas were among the claimants for the credit of winning the World War. They transported considerable quantities of vanadium ore, which was of the utmost value in making munitions, etc. Some clever photographic stunts are shown by reverse action, and in one double exposure the llama pack train is shown moving along the edge of a lake, while their shadows move in the opposite direction just below them. Several long trains of these sure-footed beasts are seen winding along precipitous trails through wonderful mountain scenery. Some of the queer habits and characteristics of the animals are shown, among others the fact that a herd of llamas can be entirely confined by a single rope passing around the outside of the herd resting on their bodies, but confining only their necks. It seems that the stupid beasts lack the intelligence to lower their heads and pass under the rope. The title apparently comes from the name given to one of the llamas. An interesting travel scenic. 751 feet standard length Rental $1.00 1019 Code CACUR Bohemia Post A map and introductory titles show us that Bohemia is the most important state in the new union known as Czecho-Slovakia. The peasants' dress is the most picturesque in Europe. A large number of close-ups are given of characteristic peasant costumes of many different kinds. Some of these costumes have been handed down for centuries as heirlooms in the families to which they belong. A number of scenes are shown of the market place in Hradisch, capital of Moravia. The photography is very clear and the environment makes an interesting scenic. 851 feet standard length Rental $1.25 1020 Code CADA ' Children of the Balkans Post Very interesting "close-ups" of the little children of Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. Shown in intimate little domestic scenes of spinning, ploughing, feeding turkeys, chickens and geese. Helping their parents with the oddest of spinning wheels ; herding sheep and drawing water from a picturesque old well with a sweep. As one of the titles cleverly expresss it, "Children are pretty much alike all over the world, and very well worth all the trouble experienced in their bringing up." 938 feet standard length Rental $1.25 Take regular weekly service
