James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras under the supervision of William Steiner to Callendar in Ontario to shoot this short about the Dionne Quintuplets, the first set of quintuplets to survive and catalogue the small but steady stream of tourists who came to gawk at them.
Hollywood made a minor industry of them. Jean Hersholt played their doctor in a feature, which became a series of B pictures as Doctor Christian, a role which he also played on the radio and television until his death in 1956.
Two of the quntuplets, Annette and Cecile, are still alive at the time I write this. The copy of this Traveltalk which plays occasionally on Turner Classic Movies is in very good condition.
