| Description: | "Their lines present an appearance of industry and curiosity - mostly curiosity." The workers are seen outside their homes. They smile at the camera. "There's no difficulty in getting the ladies gathered together for their photograph." Women pose - they smile and laugh. "The menfolk were a little shy." Men pose too. They are more serious. "but the kiddies - well they would have stood there for hours to be on the movies" Children stand around and pose. "Its a long step from Assam to our next scene, but the step is always worth taking when it brings 'the cup that cheers'". British domestic interior. Smartly dressed woman boils a kettle. She presents a tin with the words "India Tea" on the side to the camera. She makes a pot of Indian tea while her enthralled daughter clasps her hands and gets very excited. Woman and two girls sit at table and have tea together. C/U of woman pouring tea. C/U of girl drinking tea. Nice images of a tea party. | |
