M/S of the King of Italy watching the welcoming display with other dignitaries. Various shots show the tribesmen playing drums and dancing; some of them have long ponytails that they flick about in time to the music. Some other African men twirl around in a dance display, playing drums and pipes while a crowd watches - look a little like whirling dervishes. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
