General Information:
Brightest - ......... the next successful moving picture that I know of was taken on the expedition of Lady Grace Mackenzie. It has in it the very remarkable piece of film showing a charging lion. The lion almost got the operator and ended the picture but fortunately both escaped. This reel has never been extensively shown.
