tributes

A Dutch newsreel including items on a free canal tour for Amsterdam children, the royal visit to the Technical University in Delft and a competition for the moped championship.

Dutch newsreel featuring images of the European championships, an exhibition on anti-semitism at the Delft school of domestic science, and Mr. and Mrs. Pieterse's 50-year anniversary party, to which 'de Leidse sleuteltjes', Rita Corita and Truus Koopmans, add lustre.

Reportage about the tribute to actor Louis Bouwmeester.

Reportage about a pelota match held on August 4, 1920, in Franeker.

The film opens with shots of a parade through the city, a band, and dignitaries riding in a carriage. The bleachers surrounding the field are filled to the last seat. From a special 'tent', the board watches the match, which is played fanatically. Afterwards, the players pose for the camera. The film also contains footage of the audience, who consists almost entirely of men. Finally, we see a tribute being paid to the champions.
