34 Pathex Motion Pictures "Stepping Into Space" No. E 28 One Reel $1.75 The "Black Cats," aces among daredevils, make a triple parachute leap. In search of a thrill, one fearless rider climbs under the plane so as to be on top when it turns over to "loop the loop," and ride upside down. A study in both normal and slow motion. "Riding a Windmill" No. E 29 One Reel $1.00 Thrill seekers get a new sensation by mounting the arms of a giant to whirl in a circular course, reaching a height of two hundred feet above the ground. "Sports and Lessons" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 30 One Reel $1.75 "Learning How" is the beginning of all sport. Knute Rockne shows his pupils the proper way to handle a football, the small boy with the lariat hopes to be another Will Rogers, and Helen Jacobs after winning the National Junior Tennis championship, can still learn a thing or two from Bill Johnston. "Hunting Rocky Mountain Sheep" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 31 One Reel $1.75 Portraying the patience and skill required in the hunt for an animal which makes its home where the scenery is beautiful but the climbing is hard. A skillful shot brings down a prize and men and dogs dine well in camp. "Speed Winners" No. E 32 One Reel $1.75 Races always provide plenty of thrills and this reel is just one race after another. Automobiles, speed boats, bicycles, whippets, and horses all furnish their share of excitement.
