Description:

Show detail Hide detail

The 1927 Ontario Motion Picture Bureau catalogue sets the scene for this film as follows: "Disturbed by archaeologists working among the Tombs of the Kings in Egypt, the spirit of one of the Pharaohs starts on a pilgrimage which takes him to Port Arthur and Fort William. Here at the gateway of the Great West he learns that the "vaunted 'corn of Egypt' was a great bagatelle compared with the wheat shipped through the Twin Cities". Intertitles are used as a dialogue between a spirit of a pharaoh speaking through hieroglyphics and a Canadian speaking through English intertitles. The conversation vaguely relates to the images. The film shows: shot of workers on strike; long-shot of Port Arthur, Ontario, with camera panning to the left over the town; the Maraiggi Hotel; a ship in port; more ships in port; men working on the docks; train yard at docks, men crossing the track; steam passenger vessel leaving the port; various shots of logging vessels and men loading the logs; train going through the town; close-up of loaves of bread; a flowing river and forested shore; close-up of rushing water; close-up of Lake Superior white fish drying out on a line; close-up of fish cut up, in a frying pan; sunset on the water and birds flying in the sky. <4mn 16s>
