40 Pathex Motion Pictures "Bonafacio, Corsica" No. T 7 One Reel $1.00 A characteristic town of Corsica, that little more than a century ago produced the greatest military conqueror of the modern world. "Bruges La Morte Canals" No. T 8 One Reel $1.00 Most Americans remember Longfellow's "Belfry of Bruges." Here are views in this quiet Fourteenth-century Belgian city. "Bruges La Morte Monuments" No. T 9 One Reel $1.00 Ever-living testimonials to the art and skill of ancient architecture are contained in this fascinating reel of old France. Many members of the A.E.F. will recall these scenes with pleasure. "Constantine and Rummel Gorges" No. T 10 One Reel $1.00 The remarkable city of Algeria, the Cirta of the ancients, with an almost invisible 650 foot gorge in its very midst, down which many an unfortunate soul has been hurled to death. "Habe Dancers" No. T 11 One Reel $1.00 African dancers from Nigeria in spectacles rarely seen by the white man. The dances, (one of them on stilts) make this one of the weirdest films ever screened. "In Hansi's Country" No.T 12 One Reel $1.00 Hansi is an illustrative artist well-known in Europe — as well known, to his people, as Du Maurier or Kate Greenaway in England, or C. D. Gibson or Frederick Remington in America. Here are pictures of his beloved Alsace "Leride" No.T 13 One Reel $1.00 Leride is in the "progressive" part of Spain — Catalonia. Nevertheless, it looks quite feudal, having been built in 1202. The spell of the East yet sleeps in the ArabicByzantine stone and mortar of the Cathedral. "Life in a Harem" No.T 14 One Reel $1.00 The daily existence of a Mohammedan Turkish lady, filmed without her veil. The Patio is shown and the occupations of the mistress of the house — largely killing time with her richly clad women guests.
