Title: Dorothy Phillips, a Capuchin Monkey, and a Bell and Howell Motion Picture Camera
Description: Original title: "This is one of the rare snapshots which a photographer gets only once in a peagreen moon. Dorothy Phillips, star of Allen Holubar's The Soul Seeker is showing her pet simian how a fade out is made with the frontal attachment to the camera. The monk is taking a canny amused interest in the proceeding." Dorothy Phillips, besides being the star of the film, was the wife of the director. The film itself seems to be lost. The camera is a hand-cranked Bell and Howell model 2709, perhaps belonging to Byron Haskin, the film's cinematographer.
