February 1, 1913. MOTOGRAPHY 93 that of "The Story of Bread," which was shown to a large number of invited spectators in Chicago one recent afternoon at the Ziegfeld theater. The film was shown through the courtesy of the International Harvester Company of America and the man who talked along with the various scenes was Frank Stockdale. Wheat, its planting, care and gradual development into bread — the toothsome white bread of the states and the unlovely. black bread of Egypt — was the theme and the advantageous use of the International-brand farm tools, the underlying lesson. An interesting lesson, that, and one actively educational. ually turn into the golden fruit ; small at first and continuing to develop in size until the orange is ready to be plucked. Next comes the gathering, washing, drying and packing. The ox teams carry the fruit from the orchard to the wrapping and boxing house and thence to the shipping station. This picture is very beautiful. The Opening Bud (Colored). — C. G. P. C. The different stages ere a flower is fully blown are shown in this film. If one watched a bud constantly for three weeks he would have the satisfaction of observing its gradual growth, and this is exactly what is seen here with the original coloring. Army Target Practice. — Lubin. A picture of the army target practice at one of the government drill institutions. The targets are raised and lowered automatically and show the marvelous skill of the American marksmen. Instruments for testing sight are clearly shown, also the rapid loading and firing of the guns. To those who have never visited an arsenal, this picture will be wonderfully attractive. The Making of Hats. — C. G. P. C. Here we see the labor necessary and the art required in making some of the better quality straw hats. Everybody wears a hat, and for that reason everybody should be interested in the processes used in their manufacture. The French Army Manoeuvers. — C. G. P. C. Regiments of French artillery, infantry, cavalry and an engineering corps go through a mimic war, being opposed by a force of like strength. After being forced to lay temporary telegraph lines, build pontoon bridges, and transport the cavalry across the river in small boats, the invading army is successful. The fighting men show remarkable ability and the majority of their feats are of the spectacular sort. Orange Growing. — Lubin. An interesting picture showing the growth and marketing of oranges. Particularly wonderful is the scene showing the orange blossoms, which without change or cutting of the film grad The Swedish Submarine Manoeuvers. — C. G P. C. An absorbingly interesting film. A film permitting a close inspection of a modern submarine, showing the preparations for the plunge, the submarine submerged and the firing of a torpedo. "The Artist and the Brute," February 7.
