Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "Not the ordinary barge you see knocking about the rivers -".
"Nor the kind they turn into semi-permanent hutments -".
"But, the super-barge, a sort of cross between an old time wooden-waller and a futurist idea of what a real barge should be -".
"Inside are the kind of super barge-rooms any lady would relish -".
"They even put the "bar" in barge -".
"Dining rooms - and lounges galore -".
"And all for the ladies of the Super Barge -!"
