INIMAL "MOVIES"
AMAZING IN THEIR
' SCOPE AND INTEREST
doctor Ditmars Shows Mo
tion Pictures of His Bronx
Zoo Animal Charges.
Photoplay News.
Tho most remnrkablo moving pictures
ef animal life over shown were displayed
yesterday afternoon and evening In the
Academy of Music. They will be shown
this and tomorrow afternoon and eve
nings, and here be It said that they are
Troll worth seeing. The pictures wore
taken at the Bronx Zoo, New York city,
by Dr. Raymond L, Ditmars, curator. It
required three years of patient endoavor
to movie the animals, the Insects, the
fowl and the reptllla.
Doctor Ditmars accompanies his show
ing of this living book of nature with an
interesting running commentary which Is
illuminative and quaintly humorous, giv
ing to the exhibition a decidedly popular
appeal.
Various mammals arc shown In their
native habitats, many of tho creatures
being llttto known and not to be found In
Animal collections In thin, country. Tho
reptiles, at their gormandizing processes,
receive much consideration, while tho pic
tures divulging the hntchtng of snako
eggs In multitudinous nrray are of ab
sorbing concern. Then tho amphibians
camo Into vlow, and tho many curious
events In tho life of tho frog wcro por
trayed step by step.
Most of the Insect pictures wero ob
tained at night by the employment of
decoys and searchlights. Tho katvdld
"singing" with Ito wings and the tropical
Jlreily displaying IU great Illuminative
ability wero tho most Interesting and,
among all the pictures, wcro tho most dif
ficult to obtain and required the most
patience.
This highly instructive showing con
cluded with a. "Jungle circus," In which
(tho toads, seated on their proper stools,
and other animals attended a vaudeville
performance piovlded by their confreres
of tho Thllds. Tho best performance was
glvn by a fly, which, balancing Itself on
a chair placed on tho babk of a beetle.
Juggled a dumbbell many times larger
than Itself. Tho performance proceeded
with duo decorum, until tho late arrival
of the skunk, which appeared to wind
ward. The nudlcnco quickly dismissed
Itself.
CURRENT SHOWS.
CHEST. ST. OP. IIOUSE-Rex Beach's
'The Spoilers" entered upon the socond
week of Its engagement yesterday after
noon The film has attracted houses
crowded with enthusiastic spectators.
Tho photopliv is filled with thrilling in
cidents and the principal actois, Includ
ing William Farnum, Kathlyn Williams,
Bessie Eytoii, Thomas SantchI, Wheeler
Oakman and others, are all true to type.
One scene shows a realistic pistol fight
on tho main street of Nome. Another
view is of n dance hall In that mining
town, and theio is a scene showing the
blowing up of a mining camp.
PAtiACE Tho photoplay production
was Gabriel D'Annunzlo's "Cablrla," seen
earlier in the senson nt tho Chestnut
Street Opera Ilodse, whoro It proved one
of the most elaborate film dramas whloh
lias yet lieen Magcd. Tho story concerns
events of several centuries before Christ
and is replete with sensational effects. It
attracted a largo and enthusiastic audi
ence and Is well worth seeing.
NEWS NOTES.
Howard Estabrook, who Is having his
Initial experience as a moving plcturo
artor as Tratcrs Gladwin In George
Klelne's film version of the famous Co
han & Harris success, "Officer 666," writes
entertainingly of his conversion to the
new art. Mr. Estabrook's point of view
Is that of most Broadway stars who have
taken up pictures seriously. "Before I
began making tho plcturo of 'Officer 66G'
I don't believe I had been Inside of more
than two or thrco picture theatres, and
that was so long ago that the quality of
what I saw would not tempt a second
visit. Aladdln-llke, a wonderful Industry
seems to have grown over night. I re
called It as a few scattering 5-cent halls:
I And It with real theatres, offices, publi
cations, weeklies, supply houses, etc.,
all seemingly sprung from nothing, but
founded on that sure rock, the greatest
entertainment of the greatest number for
the smallest admission."
Charles Waldron, who is at present fill
ing an Important part in the current
dramatic success, "Daddy Long-Legs,"
has been, engaged to support Mary Pick
ford In the forthcoming production of
"Esmeralda," by Frances Hodgson Bur
nett. .

CHILDREN'S CORNER
The Sunflower Pantry
ATINY little sparrow hopped dis-J
"..mally about the snow-covered
garden. "I don't think much of this
winter weather, It's so cold and shiv
ery and there's nothing to eat."
His brother, a nice, cheerful, fat,
little sparrow flew down from the
tree overhead and answered him, "I
wouldn't fret about weather if I were
you, you can't help the weather you
know. And anyway this weather isn't
so bad."
The tiny sparrow, whose name was
Chirk, shook his wings and replied,
"It's a very well for a big fat spar
row like you to talk about this
weather. But how do you think a thin
little fellow like I am, is going to get
through the winter?"
The big fat brother, whose name
was Chir, looked carefully at Chirk.
"You are pretty thin, aren't you?
"Why don't you eat more? That's the
only way I know to get fat."
"Eat morel" cried Chirk. "I'd like
to eat more! But where am I to find
more to eat? Since this last snow
fell, I cannot find a bite to cat I And
I am so hungry I"
Chir looked again at his little
bjrpther. Yes, he did look hungry and
sold and dismal. Maybe he had been
neglecting him. You know when
you're busy and happy, it's very easy
to neglect your little brother Chir
was no exception. But he resolved
then and there to turn over a new
leaf. He would take care of his little
brother in the future just see if be
wouldn't!
With Chir, deciding was doing, he
wanted to begin work at once "Don't
you worry about being hungry any
mare. Chirk," he said comfortingly,
"I'll find you something to eatt"
CoUt hungry little Chirk felt the
3lMt of Ckir's vote and stopped

shivering:. "Will you really, Chir?
Really, truly 1" he exclaimed."
"To be sure I" replied Chir, "you
help me and we'll find something
right away." He wanted Chirk to help
so he wouldn't get so cold standing
around, you see.
So they set to work.
They hunted through the garden,
but that was all covered with snow
and Chir didn't seem to be very lucky
in iwiiniiK wus in ine places where
he usually scratched for them.
"I'll look over in the next yard,"
chirped Chir, "there'll surely be some
thing good there." So over he flew,
but not one good thing did he find;
the last night's snow had covered
everything)
By this time Chir himself was get
ting pretty hungry, so there were two
sparrows to forage for and no food
in sight!
"I really don't know what" began
Chjr, But he never finished his sen
tence, for a soft little voice at his
side said, "Why don't you look at the
sunflower?"
"The sunflower?" exclaimed Chir
"What about the sunflower? And who
are you?"
"I am a west breeze," replied the
kind voice," and I left some good
seeds in that big sunflower. I left
them on purpose for you birds l"
Chir flew to the sunflower. Sure
enough! Why hadn't he noticed it be
fore? There it stood in the back of
the forlorn looking garden,' its head
fairly drooping with the weight of
good juicy seeds.
"Come hcrel Come herd" called
Chir to Chirk, "here's dinner enough
for a dozen daysl" So the two little
birds ate their fill and were as happy
as could be witn their sunflower
pantry.

underbody. A Bernard Btyle with
fur-trimmed, ornamented jacket
this coming in green, biscuit, ame
thyst and navy blue.
At $35 all the suits arc plush,
ripple velour or velvet in the rich

beauties. (First Floor, Central)
