3000 Code FABA Reel Riots Chester
A study in natural history covering a variety of subjects. We are taken shark fishing in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida, then shown a group of pelicans, see a fiddler crab building and defending his home, and finally fish for the tarpon, that king of game fish, of which many are seen disporting in the nearby waters for our benefit.

3002 Code FABI All Aboard for the Moon Bray An animated scientific cartoon in which one goes in a giant rocket on an
imaginary trip to the moon. Gravitation, the attractive force exerted by the earth and in a lesser degree by the moon is explained, and as we rise from the earth the attraction grows less and less and that of the moon stronger until the point is reached where the two forces are equal. From here on the moon's force is stronger and we find we are falling upon the moon and have to reverse the engines to prevent an accident. Views of the moon drawing nearer are given and finally we arrive and see some typical moon scenery from close at hand. 736 feet standard length Rental $1.00
3003 Code FABO Up in the Air After Alligators Chester-Outing After making a visit to an alligator farm in Florida where the "critters" unwillingly perform for us, we take a trip via hydro-aeroplane into the Florida Everglades where we pitch camp and hunt alligators. The expedition is successful and we capture a strenuous specimen with which we proudly return to camp.

3004 Code FABU An Animal Engineer Bray The beaver's industriousness is proverbial, and his activity continuous. With
his sharp chisel-like teeth he cuts down trees and then cuts them into proper lengths to build his nest or house. For protection and secrecy he wants the entrance under water, and in order to raise the water level he builds dams across streams so the proper level will be attained. He works either in, under or out of water. He uses his head, too, and cuts the trees so that they fall towards the water. Logs, twigs, mud, sod and stones are used to make the dams and houses strong and tight.
