AT THE COLONIAL.

The Paul ]. Rainey African Hunt
pictures, the most marvellous motion
picture ever taken, representing the
absolute high tide in the gradual rise
of the motion-picture idea of enter
tainment, will be shown at the Colon
ial next Tuesday. An expedition of
over $50 men spent a year in the
depths of the African jungles and
braved death from fever and wild
beasts, in order that this wonderful
entertainment might be presented.
Mr.. Rainey, who is a millionaire
sportsman from Cleveland, Ohio, un-
dertook his big game hunt at first
merely from the point of sport He
was the first African big game hunter
to provide that the wonderful scenes
he saw. and the strange experiences
he passed through, should be pre-
served for the delectation of the
American public, through the med
ium of the motion picture, colored
slide and lecturer Accompanying
his expedition was a large corps of
expert photographers and motion
picture camera operators, and when
ever there was a hunt to be under
taken, or a dangerous trip into the
jungles, these intrepid men of the
camera and film were in the forefront
