This is one of the most interesting industrial features ever presented. Marble is seen as it is quarried underground, after which the process of its preparation for commercial use is shown step by step. Among the scenes shown is the “turning” or shaping of a forty-ton block of marble into a column. The method of polishing the product forms an interesting picture. Another scene shows men at work, sculpting various figures with compressed air tools. One of these pieces of art is a bas-relief of “The Last Supper,” estimated to be worth $10,000. |
