Pathex Motion Pictures 57 "The Marvel of the Egg" From Pathe Review No. S 3 One Reel $1.75 Tracing life from the transparent mass of the hen's egg to the emergence of the tiny, living bright-eyed, inquisitive "peep." The circulation system, an active stream in movement in the egg, is shown magnified 1000 diameters. "The History of a Volcano" From Pathe Review No. S 4 One Reel $1.75 An interesting bit of geology filmed partially from models of the earth and partially on the smoking sides of a scoria-clad volcano. "Crystal Closeups" From Pathe Review No. S 5 One Reel $1.00 The electronic theory, and the discoveries leading up to it, have taken a good deal of the mystery out of crystallization; the beauty of the process remains and is shown most interestingly in this film. "Fireless Heat" From Pathe Review No. S 6 One Reel $1.00 Yes, fireless heat, and some of it produced by substances you may happen to have around the house! You may see an egg cooked with two substances so common we are not going to tell you what they are. "Chemical Frost" From Pathe Review No. S 7 One Reel $1.75 To most of us the famous "Jack Frost" is the most familiar, but here are examples of crystallization produced by combinations of chemicals, that rival in beauty any design that King Winter ever produced on our windowpane. "The Inside Story of Your Hair" From Pathe Review No. S 8 One Reel $1.00 Illustrating exactly why some people have curly hirsute decorations and others straight. Microscopic views and drawings show the difference between them, and the way they "set" in the scalp. "Nature's Flying Fleet" From Pathe Review No. S 10 One Reel $1.00 That the same species of flower or plant is found on both sides of the Atlantic or Pacific can be ascribed to the winds that take minute seeds thousands of miles to a new home. A demonstration by Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars.
