To the accompaniment of pipe organ, Edwin C. Hill narrates the story of one of America's most successful woman composers, Carrie Jacobs-Bond, who is seen in silent film footage. Mrs. Bond is shown, at age 71, playing with her two dogs, walking with friends and practicing the piano at home. Her songs, which were phenomenally popular in the early 20th century, are sung off screen by 34-year-old radio baritone Ralph Kirbery, known in the early 1930s as "The Dream Singer." The songs are "A Perfect Day" (1910), "Just a Wearyin' for You" (1901) and "I Love You Truly" (1906).

The first feature film produced in pre-state Israel. This newly-restored silent film tells the story of a boy from a Moshav who goes on a daytrip with his classmates and gets lost on the way, having adventures in the Jezreel Valley as well as encounters with Bedouins, an eccentric tourist and various animals. “Today, 78 years after its making,” Ha’aretz film critic Uri Klein wrote recently, “the major interest in watching the film stems from its attempt to deal with the conflict between the collective and the individual.” Upon its initial release, the film was praised by both the public and critics: "A cornerstone for the Hebrew cinema was laid yesterday," announced Doar Hayom after the film's premiere at Jerusalem's Zion Cinema. Released in the USA in 1934 as THE LOST COMRADE, with an added opening sequence and narration in English, as well as songs and snatches of dialogue in Hebrew.

A commercial promoting Šotek Hellada [Goblin Hellada] washing powder. In a laundry room, a washing boiler blows out steam and a washboard and a brush lie in the trough. The two washing tools then come alive - the washboard turns into a laundress and the brush into a man. The two begin dancing together while the brush plays harmonica and sings: "What a misery in this world, no one fears us any more, we are useless, everybody deserted us." The washboard and the brush die, and the trough serves them as a coffin. There appears a sign "Here rest the scrubbing brush and the washboard", followed by a view of a box of Šotek Hellada [Goblin Hellada] washing powder, the musical score to the song "This is our Goblin, washing with Goblin is just playing" and the Hellada trademark.
