| Description: | With the King of Italy in Libya - Tribesmen in thousands ride in from the desert to the oasis of Zuara to take part in great "Fantasia" of welcome. Libya, North Africa. "Exclusive pictures by Pathe Gazette cameraman who accompanied the Royal Tour." Great shot taken from the back of a moving train of African tribesmen riding along on horses; more shots of the men riding along and waving their rifles in the air. M/S of the King of Italy watching the welcoming display with other dignitaries. Various shots show the tribesmen playing drums and dancing; some of them have long ponytails that they flick about in time to the music. Some other African men twirl around in a dance display, playing drums and pipes while a crowd watches - look a little like whirling dervishes. | |
