"The film opens with pictures of Belgrade, the capital city of the country, and shows many aspects of the city. From Belgrade we are shown the passage of the mighty Danube eastward to the sea, and pause for a time at Nish, the birthplace of the Emperor Constantine. We see the happy home life of Her Majesty Queen Marie, and the independent existence of the sturdy peasantry, benevolently watched over by the Government, which preserves their interests. From the happy hours of country life we turn once more to a city, the cathedral city of Zagreb, the Rokavitza Monastery, the aerodrome at Zemun, and then again to midsummer days by the sea in the mountain lakes of Plitvitxa. [p.35] The motive around which the whole is composed is the Y.M.C.A, a strong and important organization in Jugo-Slavia, enriching the lives of its countryfolk and serving those homes are in the town" (IAC Bulletin, Apr. 1934, 34-35).
