Before main title there is an ident which reads: Curiosities No. 16 - Consolidated Certified Prints. • • Main title reads: Amedee J. Van Beuren presents Walter Futter's Curiosities Faces - Distributed by RKO Pictures Corporation. Copyright MCMXXIX - Record Pictures, Inc. • • They say your own face started out like this! Two C/Us of crocodile heads which are mounted like hunting trophies. And progressed to this! C/U of the head of an unidentified animal. And so on until you looked like this! C/U of a monkey's head. There are similarities - - for instance - - the strong genial face of the American Indian - - (shot missing) -- and also this Seminole Indian's countenance. Pensacola (sp?), Fla. C/U of a man wearing a patterned shirt and scarf. He turns and smiles, laughing. -- may be likened to the Chinese coolie, or vice versa. C/U of a Chinese man who chews on a piece of bamboo or similar. He wears a large hat. The face of this South American gaucho would give weight to that theory. - Caracas, Venezuela. C/U of an elderly man in a poncho. He is eating something. Here's a happy Chinaman with a face a lot like - C/U of a Chinese man. - his brother's . C/U of a Red Indian (American Indian) and a squaw. They smile and laugh. C/U of an elderly Caucasian woman. The strong face of this West Indian Prince - Port-of-Spain W.I. C/U of the man who wears a turban and holds an umbrella above his head to protect him from the sun. -- is not unlike the handsome face of this Arabian Sheik. - Cairo, Egypt. C/U of the Arabian Sheik. He opens his eyes very wide when he looks at the camera. Compare those intelligent faces with the hungry and weak expression of this Chinese beggar.
