Native market scenes. Performing monkeys and their dusky audience. Realistic mock fight by natives armed with dirks. Ruins of a Hindu temple. Sublime scenery cascades, boulders, cliffs, jungle. Temple ruins. Carving must ornate, every detail standing out with remarkable clearness. Sumatra is in a large measure a dependency of Holland, though a matter of thirteen times the size of that country. The island is well supplied with mineral wealth and one expedition alone collected more than 400 kinds of timber. The principal cultivated plants are sugar cane, sago, rice, coconut palms, yams, sweet potatoes and tropical fruits. The film carries the interest of a drama. |
