The World’s Most Famous Babies (1934)

Titles read: “NOW Pathe Pictorial has pleasure in presenting - Exclusive pictures of THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS BABIES - The celebrated Quintuplets of Canada.“ Callander (?), Ontario, Canada. Shots of the home of the Dionne Quintuplets. We see hundreds of baby clothes hanging on the washing lines outside. M/S of Mr and Mrs Dionne.

He passes each one to a nurse (or Mrs Dionne?) and she puts them on a table and covers their bodies with a blanket. Several shots of the babies.

Dr Dafoe poses with a baby in each arm. Their parents, also in protective gowns, look on. The babies are put back in their incubator before being fed. A nurse prep
