| Description: | Sports; animals; oddities. Artillery on horseback Riding around a yard; building in BG. Men on horseback; playing a strange jousting game in which they ride around with hoods over their heads; and fluttery white things like tissue paper attached to something in front of their faces like beaks; they are waving "swords" around; knocking this stuff off each other. Long building with arches in BG. Short shots of a horse jumping over a hedge; then over a jump with bars. Men paired in blanket elephant costumes being led around a ring by a spooky sinister tall (possibly 2 guys) figure in a black robe and top hat; carrying a whip. Big building in BG with bars on window and gate; soldiers standing in back -- looks like a prison. A quick glimpse of a comic Chaplinesque figure walking in FG. Next; the sinister dark figure acts as ringmaster as the guys in elephant costumes balance on a board like a a teeter-totter. Short shot of trick riding: men in white ride around ring; swinging off horses to side & back on. | |
