Beginning with a realistic and immense painting of . the Suez canal, with live Turks dirty and shabby enough to make the picture true to life and withal strikingly strik-ingly beautiful, the spectator is carried in rapid succession to the heart of India, to Calcutta, to Borneo, to San Francisco, and, en route, is treated to a real live scene with road agents in Nebraska, to New York, across the Atlantic to Liverpool.
