Filmed visit in Peru, at the Tent of San Juan de Dios.
The Pathé cinema company screened new films shot in the capital.
Filmed on October 4, 1908, it includes images of the departure from the eleven o'clock mass at the church of San Pedro and of the races at the Santa Beatriz racetrack.
This film was shot and developed by Mr. Cazes, sent expressly by Pathé of Paris for the national company that holds film screenings in the tent at San Juan de Dios. It shows all the officials who accompanied the President of the Republic that day, the Military Household of the Head of State, and the Escort. It was also possible to film the army parade that same day, after the religious festivities had concluded... Given that these are local events, where a large number of well-known people will be seen, it is to be expected that the house will be full.
A Pathé camera slid into the bullring to film the bullfight that day.
