Summary

Compilation film about Heerenveen.

Compilation of a few short items about the city of Heerenveen. The items were probably assembled in subsequent years by a distributor or exhibitor. We see:

• Footage of the carnival in Heerenveen. Much attention is paid to the assembled audience, who at the end of the item are invited to visit the Witte Bioscoop in Heerenveen. This film was presumably produced by this cinema. Local films like this one were often produced during the early years of film.

• Harness races in Heerenveen, and the horse market in Oudeschoot on Whit Monday.

• A news item made by Kinematograaf Pathé Frères about the historic pageant in Heerenveen.

• Skating competitions for amateurs and couples – in which the men pull the women – followed by images of the ice-skating rink.

• A performance of the outdoor play ‘Vrije Friezen’ .

• A procession for the Mayor: various associations pass the stage on which the Mayor and his wife are sitting. The item ends with a transport-bicycle race: bakery workers and butcher’s assistants vie for the prize.

• Gymnastics demonstrations by the Nationaal Actieplan Sport en Beweging (NASB) and a football match between the national team of the KN.V.B and Heerenveen.
