Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and anyone who likes learning something new. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1903: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The fakir with his trick monkey is seated on the pavement in a street in Cairo. He plays a tom-tom, while the monkey dances the couchee-couchee. The movements of the monkey are very comical. (Taken on the winter cruise of the S. S. "Auguste Victoria" of the Hamburg-American Line, leaving New York on 03 Feb 1903.)
