NORWAY TODAY A JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN PRODUCED BY BIO,FILM COMPANY, OSLO (CHRISTIANIA) NORWAY SYNOPSIS NORWAY, the Land of the Midnight Sun, Natures Won� derland of the North, has often been described in books and pictures. Countless enthusiastic travellers and tourists have told wonderful tales of the grand sights they have seen, and poets have sung its praise in the gems of the Worlds literature. But even the best told tales or the finest of pictures cannot make up for a real visit to this land, upon which the sun. during summer shines day and night and where even the harsh winter is welcomed, with its dazzling white snow and its invigorating winter sports in bright sun� �ll shine among snow::clad pine trees. Our journey begins on the Norwegian::Amerfoa Line's large, modern and comfort:: able steamer «Stavanger:: fjord», embarking at New York. To the strains of «The Star::spangled Banner» the ship glides slowly out from its berth at the 30th Street Pier, Brook:: lyn, past the rustle and hustle of tugs and barges in the har:: Cut no. 2.
