School Department 267 :er grazing grounds where the animals can be protected not only from poachers but from starvation as well. The available winter range an the National Forests is said to be far too imited in area, and should be enlarged by the purchase of new lands. Photographed in the Absaroka National Forest, Montana. INDUSTRIAL ghroads and Skyroads (U. S. Dept. Agric.)— Equally valuable to the student of history and the student of road-making is this reel, devoted to the problem of good highways through the National Forests of the West. The reel opens with a view of the grave of Buffalo Bill on Lookout Mountain, overlooking Denver, and contrasts the prairie schooner and the pack-train of by-gone days with the motor cars of today. Surveying, blasting, grading and surfacing of roads over the mountains are shown, and at the last, some of the finished highways leading over the Continental Divide, le Silver Harest (E F C)—It might be listed as a travel reel, which it is, but it takes us to the coasts of Portugal and France, where fish- ing boats with their nets unwound, start out |J pursuit of the little silver sardine. It becomes a scenic survey of the sardine indus- try, even to the processes carried on in the cannery, where the fish are washed, cleaned, salted, smoked and packed. mshine Gatherers (Pr)—California's fruits and flowers at all seasons of the year are pictured, but the emphasis is laid upon the orange in- dustry as it is practiced in "America's Garden of Eden." MISCELLANEOUS The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes— he Man With the Twisted Lip (E F C) LA. two-reel version of this story of the ondon underworld, the strange beggar Piccadilly Circus, and the mystery of e opium den unravelled by the master :tective. Seldom has suspense been bet- r maintained; there is a distinct Sher- ck Holmes flavor to the story, and the :ling is cleverly done. The film is arred only by the somewhat artificial, rained acting of the only woman char- ter. A clean-cut piece of work in other spects, however, and justifiable in edu- tional circles wherever a real detective Dry is. justifiable. The Bashful Suitor 2 reels Triart (H)—Josef Is- rael's painting picturized. In this case, the painter himself is shown putting the finishing touches to another canvas, when he encounters a young girl and her extremely reticent lover. Inspired by them as a subject, the artist incor- porates them into his picture. The rest of the story concerns the bashful suitor and his more eloquent rival for the hand of the heroine. Much can be said in praise of the artistic filming of all three subjects. Seldom is more beautiful photography nor more artistic direction to be seen. Help Wanted (Goldwyn)—One of the series of Graphics, this one made up of travel pictures taken by Major Powell. It shows Orientals at work—the Filipino woman doing the family washing in the waters of a canal; a meat ven- der in Java whose shop is the open street; and Zulus who chop logs and saw lumber by hand. In Indo-China and Borneo, women are seen mixing concrete and digging ditches. A novel reel to our modern eyes, used to seeing work done by steam, gas, electricity and animal power. Building Up (Goldwyn)—Shows the rigorous course of sports that students at a military school must go through. Boxing, wrestling, horseback riding and football, as well as some less vigorous sports give opportunity for all to "get into the game." The slow-motion camera analyzes the mechanics of motion in some of the drills and games. Sno-birds (Pr.)—Photographed at the Lake Placid Club, the haunt of these particular human sno- birds, the reel is devoted to winter sports. A Hare and Hounds' hunt, a snow battle, sports on the ice, as well as tobogganing and skiing show how a land snowbound invites to an en- joyment of the out-of-doors. A refreshing program picture, in Prizma color. White Pine, Beautiful and Useful (U S Agric)— To testify to the lasting qualities of this, the "wood of woods," many famed colonial homes become subjects for the camera—among them Longfellow's home at Cambridge, Hawthorne's famous "House of the Seven Gables' and the "Witch's House" at Salem, remembered for its role in American History. Picturesque wood- land scenes add to the pictorial features of the reel, which also sounds a warning of the dan- gers of the blister rust, the deadliest enemy oi the pine. The Ice Harvest (E F C)—Showing the harvest- ing of the ice in Wisconsin, the cutting of the great blocks, and their storage in the huge ice houses, so that man may enjoy its coolness when it is out of season.
