A rural gentleman and his pretty nieces add a human interest to its scenic attractiveness as we follow them through this beautiful park. At the Fifth Avenue entrance, the first thing they see is the magnificent statue of General Sherman by the great sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Then they stroll up the East Drive to the menagerie. We follow them to the different paddocks where we find hoofed animals from all over the world. A star among them is "Toby," the largest buffalo in captivity. Next come the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History and the great obelisk popularly known as "Cleopatra's Needle," erected by order of Thotmes III, 1585 B.C., at Heliopolis, and brought to this country in 1879 from Alexandria, Egypt. The panorama of the frozen reservoir and boys playing hockey on the Mall prove attractive sights. Block House Number One is of especial historic interest, as it was erected in 1812 for the defense of the city and is one of a number that were built by its citizens. The picture closes with two really remarkable scenes of the frozen lake and the merry skaters. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
