The Birds and the Beasts Were There

This short subject visits three animal parks in Miami, two of which still operate today. At the time of filming, these attractions were considered to be in the outskirts of the city. The first stop is the Rare Bird Farm, where many rare chickens, cranes, and other birds are on display. Then it's off to the Monkey Jungle, where the visitors are caged and the simian inhabitants roam in freedom. The last stop is the Parrot Jungle. The Rare Bird Farm closed in 1961 and was sold for commercial and residential development. Monkey Jungle, begun in 1935, is still open and covers 30 acres. Also opened in 1935 in Pinecrest, Florida, Parrot Jungle moved to Watson Island, Miami in 2003 and has changed its name to Jungle Island. Its previous location was made into a public recreation center known as Pinecrest Gardens.

Miami Studios, Inc.

Miami Studios, Inc. was a moving picture studio located at the northwest corner of W. 9th Street and 2nd Avenue (then called Opa-locka Avenue) in the City of Hialeah. It is the first record of a movie studio in Miami-Dade County and was built in 1921. E. G. Sewell, the Mayor of Miami, was influential in getting it built. The first movie out of the studio was called "Outlaws of the Sea" (1923). It was based on Filigree Flask, a story about rum runners written by Miami area resident E. H. Lebel. "Where the Pavement Ends" (1923) is also believed to have been filmed there. Miami Studios was dissolved by proclamation on June 4, 1936 and the building is no longer standing today.
