BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORIC PLACES OF HAVANA, CUBA, ARE IN GAUMONT FILM TO BE PUBLISHED JULY 10 So much appears in newspapers and magazines from I time to time about Havana, Cuba, that patrons of motion | picture theaters will welcome the views of that city which Gaumont will present through Mutual in "Tours Around the World," No. 38, to be issued July 10. The film will show this lovely city of the tropics, which is the metropolis of the West Indies. The Gaumont cameraman has been thorough in photographing the beautiful and historic places, and Havana is rich in both. On the same reel are pictures of a number of cities along the Nile. These give an excellent idea of life in Egypt as it has been lived for thousands of years. The second Gaumont film of the week is the Mutual Weekly, which appears July 11. This is No. 132. It will contain latest news caught by the motion picture camera all over the world. Gaumont's "Reel Life" reaches the screen July 12. This issue, No. 63, will entertain with pictures of America's Civil War submarine. Strictly speaking, this may not be the first submarine, since there were previous attempts that are chronicled as memories of American ingenuity, but certainly this is the first practical submarine to be used in war. It was built early in the war, sunk in 1862 to escape capture by Admiral Farragut, and raised in 1885. While it itself did no damage, others of the same type were more successful. On the same reel appear "A Square Deal for the Baby,' the story in pictures of how settlement workers teach mothers to take care of their infants; "Whale Meat,' "Camp Fire Signal Girls" and two animations from "Life' in the exclusive Gaumont series taken from pictured joke.< in this magazine.
