This is a film which shows the second part of the Bradford School Boys Coronation Holiday to Canada on R.M.S Andania, Cunard White Star, August 1937. It includes a diagram showing the route from Bradford to the Niagara Falls via Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast, Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. Title - Down the rapids The film opens with views from a ship as it cruises down a river with grassy banks either side. The waves then begin to get choppy, before the boat passes beneath an iron bridge. A speed boat zips past with the driver and companion waving. The filmmaker then captures the coast as the ship drifts past land and one large building on the bank has a man-made water fall below. Title |We arrive in Montreal.| This sequence begins with a shot of the exterior of the 'Queens Hotel. There are then views of the street; trams and cars pass by. A wide shot then shows the countryside, and the camera pans to reveal a large white building, before there are several views of the surrounding gardens. Title |We dismount at Westmount A Sight Seeing Tour bus full of boys pulls up and they climb out. The filmmaker then takes numerous shots of the surrounding countryside and sea. Title |Battle of the Roses or we play the ship's crew of Lancashire lads at cricket. Boys coming out of a pavilion in their cricket whites and people seated in deck chairs applaud. The cricket match then gets underway with the filmmaker getting the action from the boundary. Title | Walsh commands the heavens to assist him. Still with the cricket match, a flash of lightening is visible in the distance. Title | We bid farewell to Mr Rhodes. From an elevated position, the filmmaker captures a group of men and women standing in a group waving at the camera. Many of the women wear dresses and bonnets, while the men wear suits and trilbies. Title | Dreaming of other worlds to conquer. Mouth ajar, a boy sleeps in his chair. Title | The Pilot comes aboard. View from ship out at sea, a boat approaches and comes alongside the ship. A man climbs aboard using a rope ladder. Title | Home again. The opening shot in this sequence shows a by plane flying overhead, before there is a shot of a sailboat idling in the calm waters of boats at sea. Title | And this concludes a memorable trip and a glorious experience made possible only by the generosity of Mr Rhodes.
