Cinetopicalities In Brief No. 141 (1940)

Titles read: “CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF“. Various locations of events. At St Louis Zoo, United States of America, we see various shots of a lion and lioness with their little lion cubs in a cage. The babies are extremely cute; one of them spits at the camera. Various shots of a huge new power station in New York. Brief shots of exterior; good shots of interior as men work on generators - it looks like the set for ’Metropolis’. Men sit before consul desks in control rooms, pressing buttons and speaking on telephones. General view of New York (Manhattan?) skyline in daylight, then lit up at night. Several good shots of New York at night, traffic and neon signs in Times Square and on Broadway (?). Cataloguer’s note: New York neon footage probably dates from 1937 - a film on a billboard in Times Square (’The Barrier’) is from that year. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
