What the papers said

2 reviews

“Very well photographed and exceedingly interesting natural history studies.”

The Bioscope · 4 February 1915

“On the same reel as The Benevolence of Conductor 786. Excellent views of the collared lizard, the horned toad, which is really a lizard also, and the gila monster, the only poisonous lizard known.”

The Moving Picture World · 24 October 1914
