Some similar footage to cut story but worth checking for extra shots. Different shots show fountain in Rockefeller Centre in New York (?), a woman looking through a telescope on a high building in New York (Empire State?). More high angle shots of the New York skyscrapers and street scenes. Good shots travelling towards and away from various bridges on the Hudson River.
Different sequence not in cut story of a Santa Fe train at Freedom Land arriving at a station. Another different sequences shows a cowgirl climbing out of a wigwam to talk to an American-Indian Chief. Cowboy in western area puts on a show where he hangs a noose over a post and leads a man to it to be hanged. Different shots of features in Central Park.
Nice shots tracking along streets in Vienna showing shop windows. Different sequence in Vienna Woods where people sitting at tables are served drinks. Nice sequence of a couple choosing pieces of cream cake from a platter as they sit at a table on a roof terrace. Brief shots of the Russian Monument (Vienna, probably). Brief shots of a donkey being fed beer from a bottle!
