Swell
Sounds like a swell series that I so regretfully cannot attend!
Just a note, "The Dinosaur and the Missing Link" was produced & distributed by Edison, but created by Willis O'Brien who later created the animation for "The Lost World" (1925), "King Kong" (1933), "Son of Kong" (1933) and "Mighty Joe Young" (1949). He was also the mentor of Ray Harryhausen, famous for "Jason and the Argonauts", "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad","Clash of the Titans" and more.
