These pictures throw on the screen every known method of water development from the primitive water wheel which requires approximately twenty-four hours to grind a bushel of corn to the stupendous electric power plants which have hundreds of thousands of horsepower developed by water. In the same release is the initial of the Gaumont tabloids, a motion picture production occupying but 250 feet of film, released under the title of "What Would You Do If..." This comedy, filmed under the direction of Edwin Middleton, asks what one would do if he or she were so very fat that their spouses preferred other company.
