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.

A commercial promoting products from the Koh-i-noor company, whose factory based in the Czech town of České Budějovice produces Hardtmuth pencils. A pencil draws a man and a lion, subsequently adding iron bars around the animal. The man is fighting with the lion. The cat first devours the man and then spits him out. An elephant appears - the image known from the Koh-i-noor erasing rubber - and performs some acrobatics. The rubber with the elephant erases the picture of the lion and the pencil scribbles over the man's figure.
A defining cultural phenomenon of the Roaring Twenties, the Charleston gained widespread popularity after its appearance in October 1923 in the African American Broadway revue Runnin’ Wild. Newsreels captured the dance’s irresistible rise over the course of the decade. Fox News, Vol. 6, Release 74, issued on 13 June 1925, featured Charleston footage filmed at the Fox studio in New York and at Starlight Park, a prominent amusement park in the Bronx. In the studio footage the Charleston was demonstrated by a group of dancers sent by none other than Texas Guinan, the famed queen of New York speakeasies – among them was a very young Ruby Keeler, who, just a few years later, would marry Al Jolson and go on to become a successful actress. The surviving set of outtakes showcases a performance by an unidentified dancer embodying the Charleston’s spirit of freedom, fun, and youthful rebellion that so captivated audiences of the era.
