19 CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER 1021 Code CADE Monkey Land up the Barito River Burlingham The Barito River is in Borneo. In a boat with a shallow stern paddle wheel we travel up stream with a cargo of supplies for the Dutch soldiers and traders. The river, over a mile wide, flows thru the jungle where we see queer native villages of Malays and Arabs and other villages of Dyaks. There are many Mohammedans, some of whom try to make converts of the Borneo natives. Further up the river we see the monkeys — the trees are alive with them, and we are afforded "close-ups" and more distant views of monkeys in their native home. 808 feet standard length Rental $1.25 1022 Code CADI Prague Post This capital of Czecho-Slovakia is one of the most fascinating cities of Europe, as the spectator soon realizes. It is a very old city and many of the churches and other structures date back for many hundreds of years. The Charles Bridge, which is one of the most important in the city, was started in 1357 and completed in 1419. Numerous statues and groups of saints adorn the bridges. Characteristic types of the inhabitants are shown and a number of beautiful street scenes, including those taken in the market place. A curious astronomical clock, five centuries old winds up the subject. 887 feet standard length Rental $1.25 1023 Code CADO Mr. Outing Floats a Dream Chester-Outing A scenic of the River Amazon. Some extremely interesting views in the harbor and along the docks of the city of Para, together with street scenes of the same city open the subject. Later, we are transported on the broad bosom of the mightiest of rivers making a stop at Manaos, which is one of the great industrial cities of the interior. The growth and training of the trees on which calabashes are produced is interestingly portrayed. The city of Iquitos in Peru is briefly illustrated. A struggle of the natives with the extremely voracious ants of that country adds to the interest and the ant-eaters are shown busily at work in their efforts of extermination. 707 feet standard length Rental $1.00 1024 Code CADU Children of Poland Post The people of Poland are a hard-working, frugal and hardy race. Their women are the finest looking members of the Slav family. The children are given little opportunity for education, but are very bright in spite of this handicap and are eager for education. The children know both work and play, but have little of the latter and must do much work first. The girls thresh and spin flax, make clothes and tend geese, of which each family has a flock. The older boys till the soil — the younger tend cattle. Many views of peasants in their houses and of children at work and play are given. The film deals mostly with rural life. 896 feet standard length Rental $1.25 To secure subjects of your own choice
