Summary
Pathe synopsis: Our old friend Sister Hannah, so frequently requested in song "to carry the banner", would really be in her element at the Hitchin, Hertfordshire, studio of Mr Herbert Sharpe. For this is where Mr Sharpe and his distinguished group of artists decorate specially woven silk banners with gold and silver leaf, as well as exquisite oil paintings. These highly finished works of art are weatherproof, too!
