Batavia, the Javanese Capital (1917)
In this trip Burton Holmes takes your patrons to Java, the richest island of the Dutch East Indies, and Batavia, its capital city, one of the most picturesque and interesting cities of the Far East. We see many unusual sights, such as the embarking of the Dutch troops for Sumatra, another Dutch possession, to quell a revolt. Then a Dutch treat. How many have wondered where the expression Dutch treat came from? We are shown an original one. An important feature concerning this so-called "treat," which is termed by them as the "Rice Table," is the amount of service required to serve the courses, of which there are as many as there are varieties of Heinz's pickles. It takes seventeen waiters or attendants to make the meal complete.
