A-295 A Trip Through the Canadian Rockies Essanay
The Canadian Rockies were called by Whymper, the famous Alpine climber, "Fifty Switzerlands in one." We arrive at Banff, situated in the south central part of Alberta, 4321 feet high. This city is the capital of the Canadian National Park in the Rocky Mountains. We go up the main street, see the motor boat houses on the Banff river and take many wonderful trips from the Banff hotel, which is like an old French chateau, in the heart of the mountains.
A-304 Niagara Falls Pathescope
Of all the famous beauty spots of America, none is as popular or nearly so generally known as Niagara Falls, situated about midway in the Niagara River between two of the Great Lakes — Erie and Ontario. The views include the American, Horseshoe and Canadian Falls, "Maid of the Mist", New Aerial Car, $uspension Bridge, Whirlpool Rapids, the Gorge and some splendid distant panoramas of the Falls.
A-311-a Deer Hunting Bray Paramount
The party starts out on horseback, for that is the way they hunt deer in the South. Soon the dogs sight their prey and a chase follows. The deer is killed and later the hunters enjoy a delicious meal.
A-312-c Wood Chopping Bray Paramount
A favorite sport in New Zealand is the wood chopping contest. Each participant is given a large log and the one who first chops his in two is acclaimed the winner. Many thousand enthusiastic admirers watch the contest every year.
A-315-a Quail Hunt Bray Paramount
This reel shows us a quail hunt in "Ole Virginy." We see the bird in its native surroundings, the dogs when he first sights it, when he is after it and bringing the dead bird to his master.
A-315-b After Mallards on the Carolina
Coast Bray Paramount
Two important preliminaries in catching Mallards, or wild ducks, are putting out the decoys and blind building. This is done before daybreak. Then the hunter "calls" and the birds which come within range of his gun are soon added to his bag.
A-315-c Turkey Hunting in South
Carolina Bray Paramount
After the wild turkey is traced, by its tracks, corn is sprinkled around and the hunters hide behind a "blind," which is formed of pine boughs and there await their quarry. Their wait is rewarded by the approach of two fine turkeys, both of which fall victims to the hunters' skill.
