CLASS 1 — Travel, Hunting, Manners and Customs 23 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER A164 A Trip by Rail Through the American Rockies The spectator is taken through the Rockies on a locomotive, whose evolution is described in the "History of Transportation" and whose manufacture is illustrated in the "Making of an Electric Locomotive." A-214 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert of Arizona Essanay Numerous close-ups of the trunk and cross section of trees showing, with great fidelity, the stratified appearance of tree sections reproducing in stone, and the concentric rings about the heart of the tree, which indicate its age. A-215-a Verde Canyon and the Cliff Dwellings of Arizona Essanay An American travel series which furnishes a panorama of the Verde Canyon taken from a moving train, and later a number of close-up views of the remarkable Cliff Dwellings, supposed to be thousands of years old and among the most historic ruins to be found on the North American continent. A-216 The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona Essanay This gigantic crevice in the earth's surface has been popularly nicknamed "The Titan of Chasms." Its size, grandeur and peculiar formation are very well illustrated. It includes enough human interest in the closeups of tourists climbing the trails, to redeem it from the dried effect of exclusive panoramic efforts. A-257 Winter Sports at Saranac Lake Vitagraph A wonderful photographic reproduction of fancy ice-skating, tobogganing and ice-boating at the famous Adirondack resort, featuring Wally Van and Nitra Frazer as the principal participants, except in the skating, which is that of two very skillful professionals. Excellent sport reel. A-258-a Lessons in Carving Bray-Paramount The different cuts employed in the carving and serving of a duck, turkey, and round of beef. A-276-a Unmasking the Medium Bray-Paramount Showing clearly the simple method by which a clever medium deceives a client who is not likely to discover the tactics employed, except by means of a clear explanation such as is afforded by this graphic expose. A-278-b Diving Bray-Paramount Arthur Mac Aleenan, amateur spring-board champion diver of the world, demonstrates several dives, including the jack-knife, back-dive, and the difficult forward two-and-a-half and back two-and-a-half. The use of a speed camera in taking the picture slows down the action in projecting them and adds much to the interest.
