A dummy violin of his own invention is used to teach the pupil positions, holding the violin and bowing. After only four weeks the pupils have made astonishing progress and can play simple pieces. Nature study is represented by pictures of some of the less known fish of the ocean. The spade fish is a native of tropical waters and the crevally, a sort of mackerel which is very good eating, is introduced to us. Industrial art finds its way to the screen in a series of pictures which show the cutting of a diamond. Uncut diamonds look worthless to all but the expert, but proper cutting more than doubles their value. The Making of an Infantryman is the preparedness subject of Issue No. 44. Sir Douglas Haig says the decisive battles are won with bayonets nowadays, and we see some of our draft army learning the use of this arm. A Miracle in Mud. by Willie Hopkins, the celebrated sculptor, closes the reel. It is called "Exemption Pleas" and is timely and amusing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
