CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs 23 Culver City of various stunts by cowboys, broncho busters and lariat throwers, some of the most thrilling horseback riding imaginable and some even more exciting unsuccessful attempts to ride wild steers. We are assured and are willing to believe that — "There never was a horse that couldn't be rode, There never was a man that couldn't be throwed." The inimitable Will Rogers and his rival, Buck Jones, are shown in trick roping and some of the champion bulldoggers and calf ropers are shown in action. The photography is not of the best, due to the tremendous difficulty of keeping these skyrocketing horses in the field of the camera, but the spectator is so excited with the story that he is oblivious of anything else. 384 feet Rental $1.25 1041 Code CAGE Leading a Dog's Life Sport Pictorial This subject shows man's use of the dog in work as well as in sport. The early scenes are laid in the Far North where titles tell us that the Eskimo huskie is invaluable. Then the pictures proceed to show not huskies, but our own domestic type of dog such as St. Bernard and Newfoundland being used as pack carriers rather than as sledge pullers. Then follow several scenes of prospectors rafting down turbulent Northern rivers with their dogs on the log rafts with them. One of the unfortunate dogs is shown after an encounter with a porcupine, which has severely wounded the dog with a number of its quills around the dog's mouth. Next follow several scenes illustrating bird dogs working in the brush and pointing quail. The training of Belgian Police dogs for high jumping, with slow motion analysis of the dogs jumping is very interesting. A touch of heart interest is given at the end of a big jar rolling down hill and after it comes to a stop four tiny puppies emerge one after the other from the narrow neck of the jar. This is an interesting subject to everyone who likes dogs. 348 feet Rental $1.25 1042 Code CAGI Where They Go Rubbering Chester The scene is laid in the interior of South America, showing the party en route on the river in huge canoes. Modern methods of artificial cultivation of the rubber tree, and the gathering and curing of the rubber are first shown. Then the party proceeds further into the interior, where the natives gather rubber from the wild trees and cure it in much more primitive fashion. Beautiful river scenery and instructive as well as of entertainment value. 296 feet Rental $1.00 1044 Code CAGU Going Up to Iguazu Chester One of the most magnificent waterfall pictures ever made. A number of the world's most famous cataracts are first shown, including Yellowstone Falls, Victoria Falls, Niagara Falls and other cascades in Jamaica and British Guiana. Then the spectator is conducted up the Iguazu through rapids up which the canoeists drag and pull their canoes, only with terrific struggle, to the bewildering beautiful Falls themselves in the heart of South America, The Iguazu Falls are shown in every aspect from dozens of viewpoints. 285 feet Rental $1.25 Take regular weekly service
