Venice, California

Kinemacolor proves that it is not necessary to take a long sea voyage in order to see "A City of the Sea," for there is a veritable Venice on the southern coast of our own California. Although not so old, of course, and constructed on a smaller, more modern scale, the American Venice has plenty of room to grow without encroaching on the sea, and in its miniature way is just as picturesque, if not as dirty, as the ancient city on the Adriatic. Neither is it necessary to sail to the Hawaiian Islands in order to see the celebrated sport of surf board riding, for Venice boasts a number of natives and visitors who are expert as the original Kanakas. It is an impressive sight to see these bold swimmers riding the Pacific rollers while standing upright on a board, but it is a ticklish trick as well, and Old Neptune's untamed seahorses frequently give their riders a spill, which adds to the comedy effect. This film concludes with the remarkable performance of a cowgirl lasso expert, who dons a brown velveteen coat while keeping the riata constantly circling in a ring around her.
