The Pets Perform! (1938)

Titles read: “THE PETS PERFORM!“ Prague, Czechoslovakia. Various shots of a little monkey wearing a shirt and trousers on a lead performing tricks for the crowd at a zoo. He rides on a scooter. A cat is made to leap over a hurdle (doesn’t look too happy about it) and through a hoop. Some dogs leap about, turning somersaults for titbits. At a circus (probably in Germany) elephants perform by walking between the legs of each other and standing on their hind legs on tubs with their front legs on the back of the elephant beside them. They all lie on the ground at the end. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT’S FULL OF GREAT DOCUMENTARIES, FASCINATING INTERVIEWS, AND CLASSIC MOVIES.
