Screen Tours — Past and Present 
BECAUSE THIS ISSUE of the Bulletin is a little late going to press, we have 
the pleasure of presenting the lectures to come with our review of the 
ones just past. The 1955-56 season was notable for the high quality of 
the lectures and the gratifying attendance at each one. Here were the 
highlights: 
On October 9, 1955, Arthur A. Allen showed us his methods of producing 
his field songs of birds in “Hunting with a Microphone and Color Camera.” 
His movies were enlivened with some of the recordings for which he is 
famous. When William H. Wagoner presented “A Touch of the Tropics,” 
he revealed an adventurous and fascinating life in the wildernesses of the 
Everglades — this on November 6. Then, on January 8, 1956, Emerson Scott 
took us through the Colorado mountains in his “Rocky Mountain Rambles.” 
On March 18, we heard another famous Allen — this one Robert P. Allen, 
in “The Long Flight Back,” a movie memorable for its pictures of such 
rare species as the Whooping Crane, Roseate Spoonbill, Flamingoes, and 
others. Last of all, on April 22, Walter H. Shackleton revealed the natural 
beauty of Kentucky in “Rhapsody in Bluegrass.” 
The coming Screen Tours promise to be equally spectacular. As before, 
all are Sunday matinees, to be presented at 2.30 p.m. in the theater at the 
Chicago Natural History Museum. All of you will receive detailed an- 
nouncements later: 
October 14: Patricia Bailey Witherspoon in “Kangaroo Continent.” 
November 18: Alexander Sprunt, Jr. in “Cypress Kingdom.” 
January 27, 1957: Albert Wool in “Ranch and Range.” 
March 10: G. Harrison Orians in “Great Smoky Skyland.” 
April 28: George Regensburg in “Little Known New Jersey.”
