Social Life Turned Upside Down in Russia, as Reported in Recent Releases of Kinograms
The departure of the Pacific fleet from Hampton Roads, Va., for the West by way of the Panama Canal is pictured in Kinograms No. 50. This is the first time in the history of the United States that a really effective naval force has been assigned to the Pacific. The proximity of the heavy fleet to Mexican waters, in view of the situation developing may make some brand new history soon. This issue includes a final intsalknent of pictures from Petrograd under Bolsheviki rule, and includes the Russian method of cleaning streets by melting away the snow with outdoor fires, the Russian navy all dressed up with flags by the Reds, and a street meeting of the Bolshevists.
The first pictures ever made of a religious ceremony at Zion City, in Illinois, including a specially posed close-up of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, the overseer and heir to the mantle of Alexander Dowie, are included. Other subjects of special interest are the New York boat strike, the dry-docking of a fleet of five submarines at Charlestown, Mass., the coaling of the Leviathan, the world's greatest transport ; Canada's reversible river that runs up hill and down, a peaca celebation at Westminster in London, led by Cardinal Bourne, and views of the artist colony that summers on Cape Cod up in Massachusetts.
Yet another release of Kinograms shows the Prince of Wales, who will soon visit the United States. The royal heir dons a miner's suit and goes down into a coal mine. Dan O'Leary. the celebrated pedestrian, on his 78th birthday engages in a twentyfour hour walking contest with soldiers and mail carriers. They are making the walls of ships out in California with mud bricks. Kinoerams shows you how.
Other attractions are pictures of Fr?ncisco Vargas, the former Mexican sculotor, fashioning delicate studies from native life in wax in an adobe hut near El Paso, Texas.
The Town of Up and Down — Sweetness— Mountain Scenery and Sugar
A real William S. Hart wild west village is what they call the little village of Eureka Springs, Ark., nestling down in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. "The Town of Up and Down" is what it is called in Ford Educational Weekly No. 158, distributed through Goldwyn, because to get anywhere within the village you must go up hill or down. The film contains a variety of views, beautiful mountain scenery; scenes of the gaunt mountaineers and their day in town; convict gangs making the roads up and down the steep sides of the mountain ; and, in sharp contrast, the many frolics of the students at a young ladies' finishing school perched high on the mountain side.
No. 159, "Sweetness," travels after sweets from the beaches of Hawaii to the north woods of Canada. The film shows us where sugar and syrup come from, taking us first to watch the immense sugar cane industry in the Hawaiian Islands, and then to the Canadian woods in March. The old and new methods of tapping the maple trees, gathering the sap and boiling it down into maple syrup are shown, with some picturesque scenes of the men wrapped in furs standing around the big fires in the woods, with the big kettle of maple sap hung over the fire.
God's
A Reel Journey to the Capital of Panama Handiwork
"A Reel Journey to the Capital of Panama," No. 160 of the Ford Educational Weekly, is a travel picture giving scenes in the City of Panama with its Spanish architecture and cosmopolitan population. It is claimed one-half of the nations of the earth are represented in this city. The film shows the life of the happy-go-lucky natives and also depicts the beautiful public buildings and the water front with its immense wall which guards the isthmus.
"God's Handiwork," No. 161, gives intimate views of the Canadian Rockies, for the scenes are taken along trails which can only be reached by horseback or on foot. The cameraman has caught all the beauties of this wonderland of Canada, and the film abounds in gorgeous mountain scenery, gigantic mountain peaks covered with snow, awe-inspiring glaciers, magnificent waterfalls and mountain streams dashing between banks of snow.
Llamas of Peru — A Lesson in Thrift — New York to London by Air
The only beast of burden in all America previous to Spanish invasion was the Llama, a miniature camel in every respect save that he has no hump and has a woolly coat. Like the camel. he is patient, faithful, sure of foot and swift of gait; but the dark side of his character shows in his refusal to make friends with his master and a viciousness expressed in kicks and bites, whenever overloaded or overdriven. He will carry 100 lbs. and not an ounce more. The Bray Pictograph 6127 shows the home life of a herd of these creatures in snow-capped ranges of the Andes of Peru. Through these pictures one sees what they do when their drivers overload them ; how they cling to the steep rough sides of the mountains; when they are traveling; how they eat, how they transport copper ore from mountains 10,000 ft. high to smelters in the valley below, and how they herd like sheep when resting on the trail.
"A Little Lesson in Thrift" is a Pictograph which shows you how to convert a single costume into a whole week-end wardrobe, by the use of a little home magic which should be known to every clever girl. If you have a sound but faded Georgette frock to begin with, a sweater, a parasol, a chiffon scarf or two, you can run the gamut of all the colors in the rainbow from Saturday to Monday and come home on the train Tuesday morning in a brand new frock, which nobody has seen. These pictures are hand colored.
Every magazine and newspaper in the world has shown pictures of the giant Dirigible R-34 which recentlv made the record trip from New York to London by air ; but few know how the inside of the aircraft is constructed, where the pilot sleeps, where the crew is qu?rtered, and how the engines operate. In the Pictograph you are given clear pictures of all this and are shown how mechanicial genius is solving the problem of nroper landing places for the npw Line of Trans-Atlantic Dirigibles. The picture combines actual photography with a series of technical drawings of interest.
