Round The World No. 10 With The Pictorial Cameraman On The Empress Of Britain (1933)

Crossing the Equator. Introductory intertitle reads: “This week we cross the Equator, and watch Neptune hold his Court - a very rowdy Court, too!“ Passengers aboard “The Empress of Britain“ have lots of fun at a “crossing the Equator“ ceremony. All those who have never crossed the Equator before have their faces plastered with shaving foam and are then dunked in the swimming pool. A man dressed as Neptune is in charge and the others wear all sorts of wacky fancy dress. Some shots are filmed from a high angle - possibly from the ship’s mast or crow’s nest. “Another instalment next week“. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
