Peeps Through The Window Of The World No. 17 (1935)

Titles read: PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD. Austria. Brief shots of the town of Heileklenblut (sp ) at the foot of Glossglockner, Austria s highest mountain. Several shots of a couple climbing up the snowy mountain. They take in the view of the top. In the pretty town of Hol (sp ) we see various shots of the locals doing traditional figure dancing on a green while musicians play. They all wear traditional costume. A small group of people watch. In Upper Austria we see men at work in a granite quarry, preparing a bed of timber. A huge block of granite that has been split from the quarry wall is pulled onto the timber bed below without breaking. Shots of stonemasons shaping the block into a pillar for a Siamese temple 9, 000 miles away. Cataloguer s note: there is no paperwork for this issue so spellings of place names have been transcribed phonetically. I would be grateful for any corrections FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
