year.
The Red Widow is original In many
ways. For instance, the opening scene,
laid in the foyer of a London music
hall, keeps one guessing as to Just what

second scene. in a private parlor of
st. Petersburg hotel, and the third, laid
in the gardens of the Cars winter pal

to any stage director.
Hitchcock is at his best this year.
His quaint. droll comedy. which many

Rainey hunt pictures, on view at the
Academy this week. As a contribution
to natural history, and a memorial to
sheer nerve in penetrating the heart
Of the African wilds. these films have
become world famous and Of permanent
popularity
Every phase OF African animal life is
vividly shown in the pictures. Mr.
Roosevelt brought home a bundle of
rare photographs dealing with the same
conditions, but II remained for Mr..
Rainey to invade the Dark Continent
with a motion picture camera, and to
obtain films Of the lion, the harte beest,
the giraffe, the elephant, the rhinoceros,
and other African beasts.
