A single-shot item of the popular gorilla John Daniel II (the only living gorilla reared in captivity) embarking on a trip to Hamburg in Germany. He is shown having what the title card calls "a wistful last look round" next to his owner Miss Alice Cunningham, and for once the image seems to fit the description. The footage is given additional poignancy by the knowledge that he had only a few months to live - Topical Budget would pay appropriate tribute in 'The Passing of Johnny' (24/5/1926). Michael Brooke
