DESCRIPTIVE LIST

PATHESCOPE FILMS

The Pathescope Co. of America, Inc.

NEW YORK
INTRODUCTION
IN response to repeated requests, and as the result of several years' experience,
during which the need of a reference book has become more and more
evident, we have prepared this Classified Descriptive Catalog, which we take
pleasure in presenting to Pathescope owners.
The subjects listed herein are all available on the special narrow width,
slow-burning Pathescope film. As new films are issued, supplementary lists will
be published. An average of eight new reels are issued weekly.
To permit an intelligent selection of subjects, we have divided them into
classes as follows:
Number
Listed.
Class. Subject.
1. Travel, Hunting, Manners and Customs. 136
2. Industries, Forestry, Agriculture. 78
3. Popular Science, Natural History. 77
4. Topical and War. 70
5. Fairy and Trick Scenes. 35
6. Comic Scenes. 51
7. Vaudeville. 37
8. Comedies. 189
9. Dramas. 169
10. Religious and Biblical Scenes. 23
11. Reconstructed History. 16
12. Military Sports. \\
13. Detective Stories. 27
14. Animated Cartoons. 16
Total number subjects 935
A Film Exchange is like a Public Library in that it is subject to constantly
changing demands for the subjects in its possession. Unlike a Public Library,
however, a Film Exchange is a business institution, which must earn its expenses
and a fair return upon the capital invested, and it is quite evident that this can
only be done by keeping the films continually in use. , This means that the Sub-
scriber cannot send in a list of say five subjects desired and always expect to
get all five of them at once. Subscribers are urged to select from this catalog
about fifty numbers at a time, from which to supply their regular exchanges until
that number has been supplied and another list of fifty can be prepared. Other-
wise the Exchange will be compelled to substitute for missing members subjects
which may not be satisfactory to the Subscriber.
Reference to this Descriptive Catalog from the much briefer but numerically
arranged "List of Pathescope Films" previously published, can be conveniently
made by first noting the "Class" of the subject in the "List of Pathescope Films,"
then locating the corresponding "Class" in this Descriptive Catalog, under which
the corresponding reel number can be quickly found.
We are always glad to help Pathescope owners in the selection of films,
particularly when it is desired to make up an assortment of subjects for a pro-
gram with some special purpose in view.
We believe that the following pages contain descriptions of the largest assort-
ment of available films ever offered for universal public use. An abundant sup-
ply to suit every taste, every mood, any age and all occasions.
Over twelve hundred reels are catalogued herein.

plete the picture.

nental Europe.
238-a The Village of Dyak in Borneo Pathe
The most interesting natives of Borneo and perhaps the most trouble-
some, are the Dyaks, commonly known as the "Head Hunters." Along the

are used as paddles, and the weird ceremony of the Head Hunters are shown.
238-b Antibes and Its Environs Pathe

259-b A Trip to Kabyle Pathe
Kabyle, a province of Afghanistan, contains towering mountains and
deep chasms that make bridge building difficult. In some places cables with

A-312-a The Light that Never Fails Bray Pictograph
A lighthouse is an extremely lonely place, the monotony is only broken by
the changing moods of the sea. A single gas mantle of 1500 candle power is
the only source of light. Revolving prisms magnify the light of the mantle to
300,000 candle power and make it visible 30 miles away, but even this powerful
light cannot always prevent disaster.
A-312-b Air Pressure Bray Pictograph
The air in which we live and breathe has a pressure of approximately 15
Dounds per square inch. This amounts to many tons on a human body and would
crush us if our bodies did not exert a similar pressure and prevent it. A demon-
stration of the result, when the atmospheric pressure is not supported by equal
pressure from within, makes this scientific reel extremely interesting.
A-313-a How the Cowboy Makes His Lariat
Bray Paramount
Pedro Leon, a Texas ranchman, shows how American cowboys make their
cinches and lassoes. The ranchman's own cayuse supplies most of the material.
The horse-hair, which is stronger than any other fibre, is spun into long strands
and the strands in turn spun into a rope. The hair cinch and lariat are prized
for their elasticity and strength. The hair lariat is often used at night by the
cowboys to encircle their camps to keep the rattlesnakes away, as no rattlesnake
will cross a hair rope.
A-314-a The Key to Beauty Bray Paramount
The only sure road to beauty is good health. Numerous physical exercises
are performed by a physical culture trainer, showing how to make one's figure
more perfect. The trainer, a young lady, is dressed in gymnasium tights, but

Yetive of Graustark traveling incognito in America and falls in love at first

other clue to her identity than that she is from a little European principality called
"Graustark." Arriving in Graustark with his college chum, he immediately be-
comes involved in conspiracies and court intrigues, during which he saves the
life of his former acquaintance, only to discover that she is a princess and the
reigning sovereign of the country. He also learns that the poor country is bank-
rupt and its only salvation lies in the marriage of its princess to one or the other
of a couple of undesirable princes, from which ordeal she naturally shrinks. In
the stormy scenes which follow, one of the princes is killed and the crime is
fastened upon Lorry. The latter is rescued by the princess, but gives himself
up due to an exaggerated sense of honor, and is about to be executed when his
college chum by a superb bluff fixes the crime upon the guilty prince and every-
thing ends happily with wedding chimes. The photography is fine, the acting
excellent, the properties elaborate, the plot thrilling and the story absolutely clean
and above the slightest trace of unfavorable criticism in any particular.

FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF FILM SERVICE
1. Be sure to read and preserve the book of instructions with
each machine.
2. Oil the machine frequently with a very little sewing ma-
chine oil. The kind known as "Three-in-One" is recommended, but
be careful to wipe off all excess oil so that it does not come in con-
tact with the film.
NOTE: Special lubrication instructions should be followed for New
PREMIER Pathes copes.
3. Keep your gate clean. As the film passes through the gate
a certain amount of emulsion is scraped off, which, if allowed to
accumulate, forms a hard scale on the guides. Sometimes the
friction of this scale is so great that the perforations of the film are
torn by the intermittent movement trying to feed the film thus
tightly held.
The film guides should be wiped with a chamois skin after
every film, and cleaned with the bonescraper, which is among the
cleaning tools, whenever scale is found adhering to them.
4. Be sure to leave a full semi-circle of loop at both the top
and bottom of the gate. The motion of the film in the gate is
intermittent, while elsewhere it is continuous. If the loop is too
short, the perforations in the film will be torn and the film rendered
useless unless the damaged portions are replaced. For such damage
the subscriber will be considered responsible.
5. Do not allow film to stand still in the gate exposed to the full
force of the light more than a few seconds or it will be warped and
may not then run properly.
6. Be sure your lamp is properly centered.
7. Be sure that your lenses are clean and that you have the
best possible focus obtainable while the film is running.
8. Do not run your Pathescope too fast, as in doing so you
produce unnatural movements in the figures on the screen and
may injure both film and machine.
9. Do not run it too slow as this is productive of unnecessary
flicker.
10. Excessive brilliancy is obtained only by sacrificing the
life of the lamp. Do not advance your rheostat adjusting lever
too far toward the "BRIGHT".
11. We prefer that films be returned to us not rewound — we
rewind during inspection.

Explanation of Film Service Charges
The principal item of expense to a Film Exchange is deterioration. The new
reels that a Pathescope owner buys with his machine begin to depreciate in value
with the first time they are run through the machine. This may not be apparent
for a long time, but eventually those reels — new today — will be worn out and will
have to be replaced by the Exchange with new ones. They also get brittle stand-
ing idle. Therefore, it is evident that when the new owner brings his orginally
purchased reels back to the Exchange and requests others in place of them, he
should pay a depreciation charge, depending on the elapsed time, to cover their
estimated deterioration, inspection and repair.
The most expensive form of Film Service is transient rental. An Annual
Rental Subscription costs only about half as much. The Exchanges can afford to
offer a lower rate for a regular service that will keep the reels constantly in use.
The maximum possible economy in Film Service is obtained by purchasing
with the machine a certain number of reels, the owner then paying ever afterward
only one-half to three-fourths as much for exchange service of his owned reels as
he would otherwise be charged for rental service as a non-owner of reels.
For Example:
Five Reels Rented by a non-owner for one week . . $7.20
Five Reels on Annual Rental Sub. for one week (About) . 3.60
Five Reels of Owner on Annual Rental Exchange
Sub. for one week (About) ..... 2.40
Taking the most common and almost universal periodical service of five reels
per week to the Pathescope owner, it is evident that an initial investment of $175
for the purchase of five reels will affect a subsequent saving of $60 each year
thereafter — 34 per cent, annual dividend or interest on the original investment
in reels.
Note — Minor repairs, such as breaks, cleaning, etc., will be made by
the Pathescope Exchanges without charge. Transportation by express or
parcel post to be paid by the subscriber.
Loss of time in transit — going, borne by subscriber ; returning, borne
by Exchange : — That is, charges for Film Service date from the time the
films leave the Exchange until they are delivered by the Subscriber to the
transportation company for return.
Subscribers wishing to discontinue service for a longer period than
one month, can do so by returning all reels in their possession to their
Pathescope Exchange. Service can be resumed at any time, and the sub-
scription will be extended for the time it was suspended.
Subscribers owning reels and desiring to discontinue their exchange
subscriptions, may select the full number of their owned reels from any
in their Exchange, and retain them permanently.
Subscribers failing to return films on their regular exchange day
(unless previously notifying the Exchange not to send others) may be
subjected to a charge for extra service, as follows :
Owners of films, 10 cents per reel for each day overtime.
Renters of films, 15 cents per reel for each day overtime.
