The wonderful scope of artistic decorations and construction of tableaux cars or floats supersedes everything previously attempted at Nice or elsewhere in this direction. A wonderful picture.

This world famed festival has been done justice to in cinematography for the first time. Photographed in the square at Nice, which is formed by one of the most interesting groups of buildings in Southern France. The gorgeous floats and multitudes of masqueraders passing in one ever varying procession to which much humorous element is added by the antics of grotesque characters lends much to the highly interesting nature of this lively picture series.
