Documentary

PLOT

For his third picture in his series, Mr. Holmes takes his audience on a visit to our National Military Academy at West Point, there to study the daily life of Uncle Sam's Cadets, the future generals who in after years will lead the armies of the United States. Mr. Holmes' series of West Point pictures show all the phases of our Cadets' lives of study, drill and play. They also give a knowledge of the beautifully situated military academy itself, its fine buildings for study. Its drill halls, its mess hall, the parade grounds. Flirtation Walk, the old historic reminiscences of Revolutionary days, and even glimpses of the serving room, during the Sunday dinner hour, when hundreds of roast chickens and gallons upon gallons of ice cream are served to the young soldiers. Building of pontoon bridges, daring artillery and cavalry drilling, target practice, mounted and dismounted, infantry drill, dress parade, guard mount, all these features of life at West Point are interestingly depicted.
