Pathe was granted sole rights to take pictures for the cinematograph of the national games, and the success with which they met in obtaining a clear view of the principal events can easily be judged by those who are fortunate enough to see this film. The first picture shows the grand stand, crowded to its capacity with thousands of enthusiastic fans. In the royal box is the King and Queen, who appear to take a lively interest in the different events. It is an inspiring scene to see the parade of athletes at the opening of the games as each country represented marches by the reviewing stand flying their national colors and saluting their majesties. The picture shows a beautiful mass drill, in which a number of women participated, and their work is wonderfully clever. Following is the high diving, swimming match, high jumping, pole vaulting, water polo and other wonderful feats performed by the athletes too numerous to mention. One thing in the picture worthy of special mention is the Danish lady display, in which we some women from that country performing feats and competing for honors with the stronger sex.
