A German animated film about dinosaurs that was repackaged in the United States during the Scopes Monkey Trial. The opening scenes depicting the formation of the earth, and early marine life, employ such simple means of simulating movement as a moving camera and sliding cels and overlays. One primal, insect-like creature is pictured by means of an elaborate jointed cutout, its legs and antennae manipulated frame by frame—a technique favored by some early animators. Most of the creatures in this film pose sedately before painted backdrops or simple settings; the effect is that of museum dioramas come to life.

An Aymara woman strugges against accusations that she is unfaithful to her husband.

The producers filmed the ruins of the city and added this footage to the original version, offering a rather bleak contrasting picture.

It's love among the mice in this very elaborate Paul Terry-Aesops fable silent. There are some nice absurdities to keep it interesting, both in the social assumptions --you can tell the rich mouse, not only because he drives a car, but because he wears a top hat, while the poor mouse (who is, I would guess, Adenoid) wears a straw hat -- and in the venue: the rich mouse takes the lady mouse to a nightclub in a large fish, where an octopus is a one-man band; she is kidnapped by a fish in a fedora and subsequently rescued by the poor mouse.

It's 1925 on the River Thames and Jack Beresford cruises to an easy victory in The Gold Cup - so easy his opponent, American Walter Hoover, is out of view.
