1083 LAKE BRIENZ AND THE GEISSBACH FALLS
This gives a panorama of the Village of Isebwald and entniiice to Interlaken from the deck of a steamer on Lake Brienz. The famous Geissbach talis form a charming hack ground, while as the steamer passes by close to the falls a superb picture oi these has been obtained by the use of the Rotary-Maxim Bio cope. Although Brienz is one of the smallest of Sw iss lakes, it can well claim to be one of the most beautiful. One of its chief beauties is the Geissbach fall, which from a height of thousands of feet leaps in seven falls into the lake at its feet. Length 100 feet.

1085 STEAMER LEAVING INTERLAKEN AND PANO
RAMA OF ISELTWALD, LAKE BRIENZ
Departure of the steamer from Interlaken, and giving throughout its entire length, a film picture of exceptional beauty. The stereoscopic effect secured in the passing panorama of the Village of Iseltwald is unusually fine, thus rendering this scene so beloved by artists and so praised by all who have viewed it with a fidelity and realism that must evoke the delighted plaudits of all who view it. Short of an actual visit to the place this film is absolutely satisfying to those who admire the lovely places in our "little hemisphere."
