Moving Picture Age (Jan-Dec 1921)

February, 1921 MOVING PICTURE AGE 31 Combining Education with Entertainment THAT the educational film can be as entertaining as a story has long been known in motion picture circles. Among those well received are the Pictographs which are made at the rate of one a week at the Bray Studios in New York City. Among the new and popular features in the Pictographs are the series of nature studies of wild animal and bird life taken by the National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Animals and Birds. These pictures were taken in a long jaunt diagonally across the state of Oregon, where the birds are protected by the United States government, and in Wyoming. A new contract for a series of travel pictures was entered into by Goldwyn-Bray with Major E. Alexander Powell, the noted traveler, photographer and war correspondent. Major Powell traveled around the Philippines, China, and other parts of the Orient to obtain these pictures. The animated technical drawings, by means of which wireless operation, a trip to the moon, elementary physiology and physics have been entertaingly explained. will be continued by F. Lyle Goldman, who originated them. Other good things are in view for the Pictographs by Goldwyn-Bray.
