TAMING THE TAIGA
In the southern part of Siberia, opposite the coast of Japan, lives a small tribe of forest people called Udes. There are exactly 1327 of them, including men, women and children. Their home is in the Ussarian Forest bordering the Taiga River. The people look very much like the American Indians, thus giving credence to the theory that the Indians originally came from Asia. Each family is a separate, independent unit. The work done by the men is sharply distinguished from that performed by the women. No matter how much she has to do, the wife gets no help from her husband. Before they go forth on the hunt, the Udes engage in the Shamian rites which are somewhat similar to Indian war dances. One of the men is shown tracking and killing a wild boar. He doesn't bother to take the animal back with him, however. That is a woman's job.
In the second reel, the hunter returns to his home. He says to his wife, "I killed a boar over there. Go and fetch it." Like a dutiful helpmate she gets into a canoe and paddles to the place which her lord and master has marked by breaking a sapling double. She skins the boar, cuts the usable meat into sections and carries it on her back to the river, where she paddles the canoe back home. Next is shown a Ude wedding. The Udes sell their furs at a Russian Trading Post, receiving in exchange tools, seeds, livestock and other supplies. A meeting is held and a representative is sent to Vladivostock to ask the government officials to supply them with horses, cattle, schools and hospitals. The request is granted. An extremely interesting studv of an unusual race of people.

THE MASAI
This picture is a fascinating, authentic study of the Masai, a primitive race of people who inhabit the grassy plain lying between the Great Lakes of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Masai are negros with a mingling of white blood from the Hamites who probably crossed to Africa from Arabia. Though black in color, their Caucasian strain is revealed in their narrow noses and thin lips. These people live in small villages and gain their sustenance by raising cattle. Their regular diet includes neither vegetable products nor meat, being confined to a mixture of milk and cow's blood. To obtain this food the Masai, at regular intervals, open veins in the necks of their cattle and draw oflf the blood in gourds. This is then mixed with milk and is consumed with gusto. In this film are shown some extremely interesting, intimate views of the Masai at work and at play. A very instructive and entertaining science picture.
