Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- (Reel 29) The opening justifies the series, "It is our contention that all right minded men and women will essentially look in a ...spirit of reverence upon all these things... This film does not depend for its interest upon sickly sentiment, nor a specious portrayal of life's true values...
