Summary

Pathe Intertitles - ‘Europe must be getting full of Cave-people. No sooner do we show some British cave dwellers, than a French Cave Colony says "What about this -?"'. ‘These cave dwellings are close by Montoire, Central France, and they have been occupied for centuries.' ‘Cut out of solid rock, it has taken countless generations to fashion them into comfortable dwellings.' ‘They have even made a farm - with stables and cattle sheds complete!'.
