Scenes of Niagara Falls in Winter of 1919
The first scene shows a man and a woman standing on a bluff overlooking the Niagara River at Niagara Falls. The entire area is covered by snow and ice, including large clumps of grass and twigs. Behind them is a battery of 36 high intensity lights aimed at the American Falls. ((In 1907, William D’Arcy Ryan of the General Electric Company of Schenectady, New York designed battery of lights to illuminate the Falls. Comprised of 36 lights, they had the strength of 1,093,815,000 candela and were mounted on the Ontario Power Company access road north of the Ontario Power Generating Station near the base of the gorge.) Below the bluff, the Canadian Ontario Power Generating Station can barely be seen because of heavy mist rising from Niagara Falls. The same man and woman are next seen by an access ramp on Luna Island, where the Niagara Bridal Falls is seen in the foreground. Camera moves to a higher vantage point showing three people on Goat Island with Bridal Falls immediately behind them and the American Falls beyond. Goat and Luna Island are completely snow-covered. Glimpse of a woman standing on the bluff shown at the film start. Views of the boat, "Maid of the Mist," ice-bound at the base of the falls.
Tsar Boris III and King Alexander I pay their respects in front of a war memorial and meet in Belgrade
State visit of Bulgarian Tsar Boris III in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. King Alexander I (Aleksandar I) of Yugoslavia meets Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria. Tsar Boris III and King Alexander I and other officials walk in the snow together. The two monarchs salute in front of a monument and lay a wreath at the base of the memorial. (Based on text descriptions, this is possibly the original, smaller memorial to the Unknown Serbian Soldier, which was later replaced by the Monument to the Unknown Hero that was built atop the demolished Žrnov and completed in 1934. The original memorial, near Žrnov at the Avala mountain, was completed in June 1922. It reportedly had a plaque that read, "To the fallen heroes in the wars for liberation and unification 1912-1918, this monument is erected by the thankful people of the Vračar District. Consecrated on 1 June 1922." Another inscription read: "Unknown Serbian soldier confirmed by the commission on 29 November 1921". The text descriptions of the form and size of the 1922 memorial appear to match the memorial seen in this footage.) Honor guard of Yugoslavian soldiers depart the snow covered memorial area carrying a flag bearing the greater coast of arms of Yugoslavia. In next scene, Tsaritsa Giovanna of Italy, wife of Tsar Boris III, and Queen Maria of Yugoslavia leaving the royal residence in Belgrade. Final scenes show a car arriving in front of the royal residence and officers emerge. Another car arrives and women emerge to enter the residence. A brief frame or two of the film around timecode 02:29 shows four young children posing for the camera. The one on the far left, in the wide brim hat, is possibly Peter II Karađorđević, later King Peter II of Yugoslavia. Final scenes show the officials royalty emerging from the residence again and posing on the front steps.
