OK

Here we are in the Swiss Village exhibit at the Paris Exposition. See the men leading cattle! See the women dancing with women because the men are busy with cattle!

It's ok, although there's little of interest in this movie, besides the fact that it was happening someplace the audience couldn't get to. That was a major attraction of early movies, and a reason why they seem so dull to the modern film viewer. If you want to see Swiss men with cows and Swiss women dancing with other women, why not go there? Or see something that came out of Switzerland?

That wasn't an option for any but a tiny number of people. What came out of Switzerland in this period for most Americans was expensive watches and cheese. With this movie, you got Switzerland.... and Paris, too.
