The return of the famous Rainbow division with the fighting men is shown in this release as well as an exceptional picture of the giant ship the "Leviathan" making the New York port in the teeth of a heavy gale. The men greet the statue of liberty from the decks of the big boat and some close-up views of the Indiana 150th aboard the ship are shown. Interesting also is the new department of the Mexican army under the Carranza government. This department is the aviation section and the Mexican officials are endeavoring to rival the world in aviation. _ Some views of Mexican stations are given as well as a Mexican made plane. At the cathedral in San Francisco, Californians are shown paying tribute to Mrs. Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst.

The second exclusive pictures of the camp of Brest, France, are shown in this release._ The staff photographer of the International was taken up in the air and obtained views from a dirigible of the famous camp which harbors more than 50,000 American fighters. Animals in Action— Sugar Cane Growing— Old City— Pathe Review No. 7 Pathe Review No. 7 shows 'Familiar Animals in Action." An introduction to this subject reads: "Accustomed as the eye may be to the actions of the horse and the deer, their very grace and ease are more readily appreciated when the pictures taken by the ultra-rapid camera, which slows the action to eight times less than normal, are portrayed on the screen." Following appear pictures under these subtitles : "A comparison of strides between the horse and the deer," "a group of North American deer," "in action the buck is easily more agile and graceful than the doe," "Belgian hares, note the spasmodic, jerkjr motion when in action." This review also contains a study of the polar bear, shows how sugar cane is grown and gives views of the restoration of the ancient city of Timgad. Ruins of Timgad —Odd Appetites— The Juggler— In Pathe Review No. 10 (Told in the Original Titles) The Ruins of Timgad: Relics of Pomp and Power. Not unlike the buried city of Pompeii, the once pompous city of Timgad — founded by the Roman Emperor Trajan, is slowly being uncovered to the light of day. 1. What tragedies and martyrdoms have been enacted here in these battle pits of gladiatorial days. 2. Through the arch of triumph come the warriors of the desert. Odd Appetites. Food prices may soar sky-high, but not every one worries about them, for some have plain and simple diets and are easily satisfied if supplied aplenty. The Gannet, for instance, likes fish and eats it whole without waste. 1. No waste is also the motto of this venerable 200 year old Elephant Tortoise. 2. Just hay, but in generous quantities, • satisfied the cavernous appetite of Mr. Hippo — net weight 2 tons. 3. Here is a dainty eater — but he'd probably prefer his meal served a skyscraper. 4. This monkey is very lucky — his cheek pouches are convenient for storing away food for the "hungary day." An Analysis of Juggling: Have you ever been puzzled by the cunning art of the sleight of hand expert as he juggles hi* boxes and balls? The ultrarapid camera which slows the action to eight times less than normal, analyzes with remarkable precision the dexterous movements he makes, and perhaps you'll be able to try them yourself. 1. These coins seek to be trained so that they know just how to behave. Pear Trees in Oregon : The cultivation of pear trees is a long and laborious process requiring constant care, for not 'till the tree is ten years old does it first begin to bear fruit. At the age of two years, the trees are transplanted to the orchard, carefully trimmed and grafted. 1. When the bark decays, the diseased portion is removed and replaced by reinforcements. 2. Three years later. 3. Extreme care must be taken during cold weather to save the trees from freezing. In an orchard where the temperature is 22 degrees, 5,000 fires are kept burning. 4. The pears are carefully handled while being picked and sorted. Caring for Our Wounded Heroes: A series of pictures taken at the Letterman Hospital, San Francisco, Cal., showing the remarkable care taken by Uncle Sam in re-educating and rehabilitating his wounded heroes in order to make them once again happy and useful members of society. 1. Each man upon arrival is given a thorough examination by medical and surgical specialists. 2. An X-Ray is taken of the wounded parts. A rifle bullet and two pieces of barbed wire in the skull. 3. A piece of shrapnel lodged in the hand. 4. A bullet and a piece of shrapnel in the chest. 5. A little reminder of the life they left behind. All About the Human Feet — Central Oregon Scenes — In Bray Pictograph No. 6112 According to scientists, each part of our anatomy points unmistakably— to those who can read the signs — to our character. Release 6112 of Paramount-Bray Pictograph, "The Magazine on the Screen," endeavors to demonstrate that personality and character are really evidenced by one's pedal extremities, as well as by our hands and faces. In the proving of the case, the pictures furnish a good deal of fun. The "dude," the "hobo," the banker and the nervous stenographer each were caught by the camera man as they walked along the street, and the peculiarities of their strides and feet are pointed out. No lovelier land exists in all the world than that of Central Oregon, where rugged mountains guard the glorious West from the fast-approaching East, and where, in the forest fastnesses, wild game abound. In the same release, Wm. T. Finley, who, as a member of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission, has come to know all that wild and wonderful country like an open book, has supplied pictures of these regions that will be appreciated by every lover of the great out-of-doors. Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood and many other of the famous peaks of this mountain range are seen in all their loveliness. Herds of deer and other wild life were caught by Mr. Finley's camera and add action and interest to the picture. The millions of friends of Bobby Bumps and his dog Fido are going to welcome release 6112 of Paramount-Bray Pictograph, "the magazine on the screen," wherein these two popular cartoon characters set forth on new and exceedingly funny adventures. Smoke Screens — Lieut. Astor — Bathing in California — With a Destroyer — Kinograms A late issue of the Kinogram Screen Magazine starts out with the first pictures of smoke screens for motor transport for tanks in action of incendiary bombs and five projectors developed by the chemical warfare section. It next shows Lieutenant Vincent Astor, who joined the Navy and served during the war, making a trip home in a captured U-117 and aiding her safely into New York harbor. Rather remarkable is the picture showing thousands of Californians who made their way up steep sides of Mt. Roubidoux to take part in service as Easter morning breaks. To those who are interested in sports, Kinograms offers Yale Crews in Work Out, showing the oarsmen who will represent famous university in coming contests, given strenuous work out by their coaches at New Haven. This should appeal to women: Crowds gather for first of bathing season at Venice, California, throng the Casino where novel display of beauty is being staged. The next subject is pictures by Kinogram's staff photographer aboard a destroyer 200 miles out at sea, showing how tin fish swim the deep. The destroyer that he is on is escorting a captured German submarine to a U. S. Port. Five other interesting subjects are shown.
