Summary

Pathe synopsis: Being a sculptor in the tropics sounds a hot, fatiguing job - but here is one many who enjoys it in spite of the temperature. Meet extra-chef Jack Taylor, of the luxury cruiser "Caronia", who sculpts in ice. Jack’s formula is to take a 300 lb block of ice and, using ordinary wood-working tools, model a large swan, eagle or sea-horse to decorate the cold buffet table. Posterity will not benefit by his work, but it has given pleasure to hundreds of travellers the world over.
