China.* This is a one-reel travelogue showing interesting bits of life in color in China. The manners and customs of the Chinese, scenes about the "forbidden city" and a comparison of the old and new China are highly instructive. One interesting feature of this subject is disclosed in the old flags of the Chinese monarchy and the new flags of the Chinese republic. Fortunately, Prizma had a photographer in China at the time of the revolution and he took the flags of the monarchy as they were flying on all the buildings previous to the revolution. As soon as the new flags were put out he brought back a faithful reproduction of them. Prizma. Dreams Come True. The Chester-Outing Scenics.
