Reportage about the festivities during Dokkum’s ‘shopping week’.

A poor old fiddler playing his violin in a restaurant is about to be turned out when a diner - himself a famous music-hall artiste - causes him to remain as his guest. The diner tells the manager of the restaurant that, in order to help the old man, he will give a performance of his music-hall act. He then appears in his stage make-up. After a space has been cleared for him, he gives an exceedingly clever acrobatic performance in which he builds a tower with tables, chairs and boxes, up which he climbs, wobbling and floundering.
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.
Near the fountain on Amsterdam’s Frederiksplein, various people kneel down in venerating poses. The film was shot from the Paleis voor Volksvlijt.
Advertising film for the 'artists' summer festival' on July 9 at the stadium in Amsterdam.
