Mr. Charles Urban, F.Z.S., Managing Director of the Natural 

 Colour Kinematograph Co., Ltd., gave a display of motion pictures 

 of animals which had been exhibited hitherto in this country 

 only before T.M. the King and Queen at Knowsley, the Society 

 of Arts, and the Palace Theatre, London. The pictures had been 

 taken, with one or two exceptions, at the Society's Gardens in 

 Regent's Park, and at the National Zoological Park, Washington, 

 U.S.A. Mr. John Mackenzie, the expert who had photographed 

 the animals, introduced and explained the series and the processes 

 which had been employed in obtaining them. 



The coloured pictures obtained by the Urban-Smith system of 

 Kinemacolor were particularly successful in reproducing faithfully 

 \arious shades of yellow, grey, and brown, the films exhibiting 

 the Giraffes feeding and the Elephants bathing being strikingly 

 good, whilst some of the brightly coloured birds were extremely 

 interesting. A series of uncolourecl films gave faithful and 

 pleasing representations of various animals in movement, some 

 of them displaying the effect on the animals of gramophone 

 music.
