January 18, 1913. MOTOGRAPHY 53 Current Educational Releases The Beautiful Falls of Marmore (Velino River, Central Italy.) — Cines. Soul-inspiring views of the tranquil Lake Piediluco and the exquisite beauty of the Falls of Marmore, with its foaming waters surging at the foot of the green canyon walls, are most vividly pictured. The Bulgarian Army in the Balkans. — Eclipse. Showing the Bulgarian army near the town of Jardzello, at the time of the beginning of hostilities with Turkey. The film depicts in order : "the forward movement of the infantry and cavalry," "dismounting for a short rest and mess," "another advance march," "mounted and dismounted target practice and gun drill," "a cavalry charge," "the 5th battery of artillery limbering up," "the regiment fording a river," "review of the troops by Tsar Ferdinand," and "the cavalry advancing to the frontier." The Manchester Ship Canal (England).-— Cines. We are taken upon an interesting trip along this busy ship canal from Eastham to Manchester, during which we are shown many flourishing towns along the way and several marvelous feats of engineering. The Birth of a Dragon Fly. — C. G. P. C. Notwithstanding a head that strongly suggests a miniature tiger, the dragon fly is quite inoffensive. This and all other characteristics of the fly are explained by means of excellent photography, microscopic and otherwise, from the time the larva is discovered until the little insect is able to start out into the world on its own wings. Life in India. — Eclair. Contrary to the general opinion, this travel film shows the natives of India to be an industrious people rather than the shiftless creatures so many are prone to think them. Among the small trades or vocations which the natives are engaged in daily, the following are shown : Engraving on gold, decorating of pottery, all kinds of tiling, rope making, and we learn also that their women are employed in masonry building, as street porters, as well as in the feminine occupations of linen washing, hair dressing and fortune telling. The Part Played by Air in Respiration. — C. G. P. C. An interesting study of this most necessary element. A number of experiments demonstrating how absolutely impossible it is to live without air. Fish are dependent upon the air contained in water for the life that is in them. This is proven beyond a doubt when the air is extracted from the water by boiling and the fish nearly suffocated. A fascinating educational film which every child should see. ? J L 1 Ji mmm9F**~' '**&&%, Lm, *m ' * ■ *► Wk Hr ' <1 * "^ »^PH \ ■ L* 1 1 ( 'Andrew Jackson," a Two-Reel Feature of February 3.
