| Description: | World War One political cartoon drawn by British(?) artist Frank Holland -- the film is actually a long CU of the cartoon "in progress"; with the artist's hand drawing a depiction of Kaiser Wilhelm II climbing a greased pole; the top of which says "World Power"; while a large sun labelled "The Allies" shines down upon him. Comedy; editorial; art. The top of the pole has a joint of meat (?) on it - that is where the dripping is coming from. Frank writes in words at the bottom - 'As Bill climbs hard with hungry eyes, the grease keeps dripping from the prize; Though he's truly "up the pole", he's slipping further from the goal!'. | |
