Summary
Pathe synopsis: From an unusual sport to an unusual art form, demonstrated by George Beven, a young artist from Ceylon, whose works compare favourably with the best modern artists - and George paints with his fingers. Using a woven rush mat in place of a canvas, some tubes of paint and his fingers, George creates works of considerable merit and interest.
