Every woman will appreciate this instructive exposition of a great industry. The entire process is shown from the time an artist sketches a pattern until the manufactured product is ready for shipment. The patterns are perforated on long strips of cardboard which guide the machine. The lace is finished by hand, and then pressed, starched and dried on long tables. The machines are shown in operation. G. Hepburn Wilson, the inventor of the "Toddle," the dance of the season, illustrates it himself for "Reel Life" spectators. Mr. Wilson is head of the Inner Circle, the national dancing association. "Raising Fresh Water Fish" shows how the fry are hatched and transported. Many of the pictures were taken in California, showing how the Fish and Game Commission plants eighteen million trout in mountain streams. The fourth section of this reel shows how a fashionable evening gown is designed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
