Dickason B&H $1 Rosh Den West IdP Wis 75c "Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, a brief visit is made in the great modern city of Capetown, from which quick transition is made to the rolling plains of the interior, and finally the jungle itself. . . The humped African cattle are guarded jealously, and the size of a man's herd establishes his position in the tribe as well as the number of wives he may have. Markings on the face and body des- ignate the wearer's relationship to family or sect. Children squat on the ground of the village street while the women procure milk from the cow for immediate consumption on the spot. Monkeys play with and plague the youngsters. A father teaches his young how to build a fire by the same method that now is taught all Scouts. "In contrast is one of the rarest of movie shots ever to come from Africa. It is a sequence in which a father lion teaches his cub something about the rough ways of the jungle. The ferocious African elephant is shown in its natural settings, and then trained to do the hard work of the jungle. Baby lion cubs guard the den in the absence of their parents. 'There are herds of zebra, giraffes and other denizens of the jungle. A fine closeup study shows a magnificent specimen of lion at the water-hole. "Native tribal dances are witnessed, as is the novel way in which native girls fish in the rushing rapids of the Zambesi. The movie concludes with beautiful shots of the great Victoria Falls."

The first scene showing a traveler in the distance with beautiful clouds in the background made the film interesting and human from the start. The beautiful cloud effects through the Rockies, the engines pulling a long train up grade, and twilight scenes were outstanding. "The great wheat fields of Canada, with cloud effects, showing the endless prairie of grain, in harvest time, the shocking and thresh- ing the grain was realistic. Then a Voyageur on the Mississauga River, showing the forest primeval, rapids, and his camp along the river, brings the end of the day with his supper being cooked in the great outdoors and a large skillet of fish for his enjoyment just as the sun goes down."
