About Moscow Clad in Snow

Pathé's winter views of Moscow run in four parts. The camera pans the Kremlin and Marshal's Bridge, where sleds stand in rows and horse sleighs use the street. A mushroom and fish market follows. In Petrovsky Park the well-to-do pass, and a file of women skis a narrow lane. The last shot is a slow pan back over the riverfront where the film began.
