AMONG THE PRODUCERS 435 to primitive Tennessee, where the folks still make the clothing they wear and fashion their crude household implements and where the only illuminant is from home-made candles; and from Vladivostok, Siberia, to life along the Amazon River in South America. The Kineto library of biological subjects covers a far-reaching field, having such revealing insect episodes as the picture of a fly's eyes, the tongue of a bumble bee and a very interesting struggle staged between two praying mantises. Most of these unique biological subjects were made in Athens by a very well-informed Greek scientist who has taken up motion picture work as a hobby. The Spiro Film Corporation have many studies made by this man in their vaults, which, up to this time, have never been shown on any screen. In addition to these subjects, they also have those excellent reels, so well-liked by the school people, arranged by Dr. George Wood, well-known biology teacher in the New York Schools. The photographic work was specially done in London and the subjects were edited and titled by Dr. B. Gruenburg. They cover the life functions of the amoeba, the vorticella, the hydra and the frog. The Spiro Film Corporation also have a number of irecreation pictures for use in general programs. These are not slap-stick comedies, yet they bring much laughter and joy to the average youngster. For example, in this group is a picturization of Mark Twain's Jumping Frog and A Day's Fun at Blackpool, England. The foregoing is merely a rough sketch of the Kineto Library. Its many reels cover in great detail the subjects mentioned and include hundreds of subjects not touched on at all in this brief summary.
