56-a The Riviera Pathe
The narrow strip of Italian coast shown in this reel borders on the Gulf of Genoa, and has been aptly named "Riviera," meaning seashore. It abounds in most striking and beautiful scenery and is noted the world over for its numerous health resorts. The magnificent white marble villas that cover the terraced mountain side are clearly depicted. A panorama that includes a beautiful harbor, stone railway bridges and puffing trains emerging from tunnels, enables the spectator to form a remarkable conception of the beauty of this resort.
56-b Wolf Hunting in Russia Pathe
The hunting party assembles in the early morning and their dark clothing is in sharp contrast to the brilliant white snow. At a signal from the master the wolf hounds are unleashed and take up the scent. The trail leads through forests and over long tracts of snow. After an exciting chase the fleet footed dogs overcome their victim and the quarry is muzzled and bound with rope. When several animals have been captured the hunters return and exhibit their live trophies.
