- Those great, set, lazy irregularities of the earth's surface known as mountains are never more magnificent than when draped in their mantles of snow trimmed with sun beams, and this splendid half-reel shows them at their best. The Rainier National Park of more than 2,000,000 acres is situated in the Rainier National Forest Reserve in Pierce County, Washington. Mt. Rainier is a volcanic pile 14,526 feet high, covered by 32,500 acres of perpetual ice and snow. This film shows the tourist pitching camp in the foothills before attempting the ascent of the towering peak. Then comes the ascent in which Paradise River, Sluiskin Falls, Nisqually Glacier, St Tahoma Glacier and a glimpse of the Tatiosh range are shown. The climbing is very perilous. The picture ends with a view of Mt. Rainier and Mirror Lake, most aptly named, as can be seen from the perfection in which it reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

- Psychological narrative avantgarde film about a wealthy young businessman who consecutively falls in love with a classy English woman (Pearl), a Russian sculptress (Athalia), and a naive working-class girl (Lucie). Overpowered by weakness, the coward sidesteps the obligations that love affairs impose: rather than living up to his dates he takes his sports-car from an ultra-modern garage and speeds to the fashionable beaches of Deauville. On his way, he is fatally hit by a descending swallow. The film is divided into three segments each of which consists of events the woman experienced. These sequences are embedded in scenes in which each of the three women is telling and casting her mind back to her own love affair. Thus, present, future and past merge and cannot be distinguished clearly. The intertwinement of several layers of time experience, recollection, telling and showing have been regarded as a source of inspiration of Alain Resnais and this film prefigures his "L'Année dernière à Mariënbad" to a certain extent.
