EUGENE H.QOTH presents NTMC BK GAME WITH CUN AND CAMERA By H. A. SNOW SWEEPS INTO PHENOMENAL SUCCESS OVERNIGHT :*X Lion What the Foremost Critics Say About lt> MLklkJ. ll «,(<«..'. Wild Buck "In 'Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera,' H. A. Snow poked his camera right up under the noses of the wildest animals of the African jungles and came away with pictures of the whites of the beasts' eyes. This is an extraordinary film." — Quinn Martin, N. Y. World. "A Picture which thrilled, delighted and entertained us as much as anything in years. It is absolutely fascinating from the opening shots of over a million penguins flying into the ocean to the closeup of a giant African elephant charging into the camera. All in all we consider this the best film entertainment in New York today."— P. W. Gallico in Daily News "The most complete — which means the most instructive and the most thrilling — motion picture of wild animal life ever made. The beautiful, the ugly, the swift, the ungainly — they are there, singly and in herds, at water holes and darting across the plain or diving into the jungle undergrowth. Comedy is introduced to relieve the tense action." — J. O. Spearing, N. Y. Times. Elephant Giraffe Baboon Rhinoceros W .idtllliuiJ Stanley Crane "Most satisfying pictures of wild animal life yet taken." — Don Allen, Eve. World. "More drama in a single reel than in a bale of Hollywood productions." — N. Y. Times. "By all means see this picture and take the children, for if you don't they'll never forgive you, if they ever find out about this show." — Daily News. "All the excitement, thrills and chills of 'Hunting Big Game in Africa' are there. No one between the ages of seven and seventy should miss this picture." — N. Y. Eve. Post. "A marvelous panorama of wild life." — Evening Mail. "No Zoo in the world is able to produce as large a number of wild animals as these pictures show." — Louella O. Parsons, Morning Telegraph. "A vivid record of the thrills and chills of the jungle." — Rose Pelswick in N. Y. American. "In the midst of most exciting adventures one suddenly realizes that during all this hazard the camera was there bravely cranking, cranking, cranking." — N. Y. Eve. Journal. "An example of the cinema at its best. A more uniformly interesting and sensationally thrilling set of pictures has not been shown on Broadway in many a day. It crowds more real drama into its ten reels than 90 per cent of so called super-specials."— E. V. Durling in the Globe. " 'Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera' has virtually swept the town off its feet. The press went wild over the picture and stated it was the biggest entertainment in New York."— Variety of January 12th. "The most fascinating animal picture ever seen. It even exceeds in entertainment power Paul J. Rainey's classic. It is exciting and humorous. Crashes between the Flivver and wart hog are funnier than the antics of Lloyd or Chaplin. — N. Y. Sun. "The flat statement predicting a long showing for 'Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera' is based on a number of things, foremost of which are these: — Tense, thrilling moments, punctuated with mirth provoking scenes and great lessons from nature." — Eve.
