ROOSEVELT AFRICAN PICTURES AT THE PRINCESS SATURDAY.

The Only Film that Passed the ExPresident’s Censorship to be Exhibited in Rensselaer. On April 18th there was released the only authorized and jreal moving picture of Col. Theodore Roosevelt during his recent hunting trip in Africa. The story of how this picture was secured would itself be interesting. After the ex-president had refused point blank all importunities from Ahierican moving picture houses to have a photographer accompany him to the jungles of Africa, he met an at the home of a wealthy ranchman to whom he was under obligations for hospitality and upon the request of his host he Permitted the picture with the understanding that he would have the right to cut out everything that did not meet his approval. To this end he has left only those things that ara instructive and refining and there is not a thing of the sensational in the picture, but it contains scenes from the interior of Africa that none should fail to see. Herds of antelopes, hartebeasts, giraffes, the hippo, the rhino, alligators, the characteristic dance of the inhabitants and their manner of living all are displayed just as Roosevelt found them. Manager Phillips is fortunate to get this picture which the English photographer sold for $65,000. It was released only ten days ago,, and the Princess will have it Saturday afternoon and night of this week, April 30th, the adpission being only 10 cents. The Princess should be crowded at every performance and people from the country are especially invited to witness any one of the afternoon performances.
