Si CLASS 3 -Popular Science Useful Arts and Natural History KEEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER 3029 Code FADUR Mothland Mysteries Bray-Ditmars A short entomological subject showing caterpillars who eat their weight in green leaves each day. Later the caterpillars are shown weaving their silken shroud around them. One surprising feature is that the imprisoned caterpillar receives assistance in the final sealing up from another caterpillar on the outside. In the Spring the cocoon opens and through slow-motion photography we see in a few seconds something like an hour's development of the moth during which his soft moist wings spread, stiffen, glisten and finally bear him soaring away into the air. 400 feet standard length — on same reel with 1032, Island of Surprise Rental $1.25 3030 Code FAFA Dinnertime in Zooland Bray A visit to the Zoological Gardens in Bronx Park, New York City, at feeding time. A great variety of diet is required for the different animals, their tastes calling for such delicacies as fish, eggs, milk, bananas, worms and dried ants. The following animals are seen : Raccoon, Brazilian Porcupine. Tropical Tiger Cat, Madagascar Tenrec (a very rare specimen), Venezuelan Opossum, Honey Bear, Giant Anteater, Owl Monkey, Baboon, Woolly Monkey and a huge Grizzly Bear. 372 feet standard length — on same reel with 7027, Bubbles Rental SI. 25 3031 Code FAFE Nearest to Man Bray A study of the anthropoid Apes. We visit a Zoo and see a Gorilla, playing with a doll and loving it as fondly as any little girl might do. The Chimpanzee comes next. He is sterner, has longer ears and lives more on the ground. Then we see the clownish Orang-utan. He sits beside the Chimpanzee and we are given an opportunity to compare their more striking differences in build and appearance. 234 feet standard length — on same reel with 7065. Felix Follozvs the Szvallows Rental $1.25 3037 Code FAFIR Einstein's Theory of Relativity Independent Popular version, condensed from the longer Fadman production by Max Fleischer. An extremely interesting and simple exposition of the elementary theory of Einstein, beginning with the definition of Relativity and then proceeding by very simple and well known examples, showing the Relativity of Motion, Direction, Size, Speed, Time and Measurements. These are illustrated both by animated diagrams and by ordinary cinematography, whichever best serves the purpose desired. No attempt is made to demonstrate the more advanced ideas in Einstein's Theory, but a fair working knowledge of the principles involved is clearly portrayed and easily understood. 1,961 feet standard length — on 2 reels Rental $2.50 For maximum enjoyment
