- This most interesting and instructive film illustrates as no words can do the degree of perfection to which ancient Moorish architecture attained during the time when Morocco held Spain in subjugation, that is to say, in the 13th century. First, we see a superb panorama of the ancient city of Granada and then the details of its masterpiece of architectural art the "Alhambra," the palace of the Moorish kings, with its "Lions Courtyard," paved with white marble the lions being carved out of solid blocks of black marble. Then we are shown the "Myrtle Courtyard" and at the back the "Mirador, or Look-Out" balcony whence a splendid panoramic view of Granada and surroundings is obtained. The film closes with familiar scenes of Spanish gypsy life, a wedding followed by rejoicings and dances.
- The picturesque borderland of Austria and Italy. This film will prove a great attraction to all admirers of exquisite scenery. It certainly would be impossible to find more superb mountain and lake effects than those depicted in this glorious motion picture The Lake of Garda reflects mountains, vineyards and sky in its placid depths. No mirror could do it more perfectly. The panoramic view of the densely wooded hills, interspersed with dazzling white buildings, lordly historic castles, ruins of ancient temples and picturesque residences cannot be rivaled anywhere. Everyone is sorry when this picture comes to an end. A thousand feet of such sublime views as are here depicted would not be too much.
- DirectorTheo FrenkelTwo brothers try to force an unwilling man to wed their sister.
- On a wild, romantic, rocky coast a young coast guard corporal is on duty, under orders to watch for smugglers. He is also in love with a young peasant girl and the match is favored by both the girl and her father. While watching the coast one day, the young officer is overcome by the heat, lies down and falls asleep. While he sleeps the smugglers creep up on him, take away his rifle and go about their business. The guard detail of coast guards come around to relieve the man on duty and find him asleep and his gun gone. They arrest him and take him to headquarters, where his corporal's stripes are torn from his sleeves and he is disgraced. His sweetheart and her father now dismiss him from their house and altogether things look very bad for him. Clearly the only way out of his troubles is for him to perform some act of conspicuous bravery or merit. He follows up the trail of the smuggler band and succeeds in locating them. Then he summons the other coast guards to his assistance, and the smugglers are arrested. This act results in the restoration of the corporal's stripes and the return of his sweetheart's love and favor. He is now and henceforward worthy of the name of "coast guard."
