1529 UNIVERSAL PEACE

A beautiful, allegorical picture of the inauguration of peace amongst all the nations. Peace, in the guise of a beautiful maiden, enters, and mounting a central pedestal summons all the nations into her presence. They advance in couples: England and America, Germany and France, Spain and Italy, and as each couple make obeisance to Peace they also cordially shake hands with one another, Peace meantime waving over them the olive branch. Lastly enter Russia and Japan , and their reluctance at tbe first to clasp hands brings a gentle protest from all the nations, and finally they both fall on their knees at the foot of the throne of Peace, having first cordially shaken hands and laid down their banners intertwined, the film thus finishing up with an impressive and artistically beautiful tableau.

1844 "BABY'S PERIL"

A large portrait picture of a baby at dinner, feeding itself and the cat with pap and cream. Father is seen in the garden at target practice with a revolver which after firing he reloads. At this moment his wife enters with a telegram which he hurriedly peruses. In response to the evident importance of the message, he carelessly tosses the loaded revolver on to a settee and both leave the garden. The baby, happening on the scene with pussy, is attracted by the bright looking "new toy" which it proceeds to play with. The mother returning from the house discovers the child with the muzzle of the revolver in its mouth and is paralyzed with fright. Father, who now appears, realizes the situation and finally bribes baby with pennies to part with the dangerous weapon, which he flings away after discharging every loaded chamber of the pistol. The baby (entirely unconscious of the danger just passed) is caught up by the parents and is seen laughing and enjoying the kisses and hugs. A most affecting subject - fine photographic quality. 150 feet

2116 LIFE IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

By courtesy of LORD STRATHCONA and the LONDON ZooLOGICAl, SociETY.

For the first time since its invention the Bioscope has been seriously and scientifically applied to obtaining a record of the ways and habits of Wild Animals, and the present series of Animated Pictures represents some of the finest results that have ever been obtained. The work of taking Bioscopic Pictures of Wild Animal Life, is one fraught with endless difficulties, and, in some cases, not a little danger to the Photographer.

The greatest patience, care, thought and resource have to be employed successfully to show the creatures in their natural and characteristic movements, for they are very easily disturbed and alarmed, and when frightened their whole aspect becomes changed to the unnatural. In obtaining this unique series of Natural History Films, many long hours and even days had to be spent in patient waiting, ere the characteristic picture could be procured.

For much of the work, special costly apparatus had to be designed and constructed, and many elaborate and delicate experiments carried out, but the results hav yielded the highest standard of perfection that has ever been gained, and these wonderfully realistic and life - like pictures of Wild Animal Life are the admiration of all who have the good fortune to behold them.
