Trip to Poland Man in snap-brim cap (seen watching the BREMEN depart earlier this tape) standing between two men in top hats (possibly chimneysweeps). Ducklings swimming in quiet river; tilt up to boats and houses right at the edge of the water. Pan square in large town; trolley car, elegantly dressed men walking on street; pan ends on Jan Rux Restaurant. Small train passing in countryside; street scenes, quiet square, signs in Polish. Tourist greeting or saying farewell to relatives with kisses all around, tears from old woman. Interesting reaction from somber-faced older man in cemetery, when he realizes the camera is on him, he snaps to attention and presents a bland front; pan to gravesites planted in flowers; these are apparently new graves, mounds of earth. Men admiring view of old castle. Men and women smiling and posing for the camera
