Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "And fine Aigrette feathers once adorned Eve’s fine hats, until to prevent extinction of the bird, we forbade their importation. And now they live in peace. (or as peaceful as this African bush can be.)" Two shots
"Mind you, the Aigrette was a nice kind of bird to know. His only fault was, his plumes were too tempting to the Milliners." Three shots
"There’s a moral in this - too fine feathers make fine birds - extinct!"
Researcher Comments
