What the papers said

2 reviews

“Well arranged and well photographed glimpses of an industry which is not remarkable for any features of striking novelty or interest. The photography of the one or two interior pictures in the film is as good as difficult conditions allow it to be.”

The Bioscope · 10 December 1914

“A clearly photographed topical full of interest. It shows the whole process of growing and marketing pineapples.”

The Moving Picture World · 8 August 1914
