CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs 19 istic peasant costumes of many different kinds. Some of these costumes have been handed down for centuries as heirlooms in the famihes to which they belong. A number of scenes are shown of the market place in Hradisch, capital of Moravia. The photography is very clear and the environment makes an interesting scenic. 340 jeet Rental $1.25 1020 Code CAD A Children of the Balkans Post Very interesting "close-ups" of the little children of Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. Shown in intimate little domestic scenes of spinning, ploughing, feeding turkeys, chickens and geese. Helping their parents with the oddest of spinning wheels; herding sheep and drawing water from a picturesque old well with a sweep. As one of the titles cleverly expresss it, "Children are pretty much alike all over the world, and very well worth all the trouble experienced in their bringing up." 375 jeet Rental $1.25 1021 Code CADE Monkey Land up the Barito River Burlingham The Barito River is in Borneo. In a boat with a shallow stern paddle wheel we travel up stream with a cargo of supplies for the Dutch soldiers and traders. The river, over a mile wide, flows thru the jungle where we see queer native villages of Malays and Arabs and other villages of Dyaks. There are many Mohammedans, some of whom try to make converts of the Borneo natives. Further up the river we see the monkeys — the trees are alive with them, and we are afforded "close-ups" and more distant views of monkeys in their native home. 323 jeet Rental $1.25 1022 Code CADI Prague Post This capital of Czecho-Slovakia is one of the most fascinating cities of Europe, as the spectator soon realizes. It is a very old city and many of the churches and other structures date back for many hundreds of years. The Charles Bridge, which is one of the most important in the city, was started in 1357 and completed in 1419. Numerous statues and groups of saints adorn the bridges. Characteristic types of the inhabitants are shown and a number of beautiful street scenes, including those taken in the market place. A curious astronomical clock five centuries old winds up the subject. 355 jeet Rental $1.25 1023 Code CADO Mr. Outing Floats a Dream Chester-Outing A scenic of the River Amazon. Some extremely interesting views in the harbor and along the docks of the city of Para, together with street scenes of the same city open the subject. Later, we are transported on the broad bosom of the mightiest of rivers making a stop at Manaos, which is one of the great industrial cities of the interior. The growth and training of the trees on which calabashes are produced is interestingly portrayed. The city of Iquitos in Peru is briefly illustrated. A struggle of the natives with the extremely voracious ants of that country adds to the interest and the ant-eaters are shown busily at work in their efforts of extermination. 283 feet Rental $1.00 Take regular weekly service
