“In Twee Zeeuwsche Meisjes in Zaanvoort (1913) we see a somewhat plump Annie [Bos] as one of the duo who go to the seaside and… well, that’s about it, they go to the seaside, and they improvise some comedy, and passers-by in the background stare on in amusement. Boerenidylle (c.1914) is similarly unencumbered by narrative. Annie is courted by her farmhand boyfriend, nothing dramatic happens at all, and the scenery is beautiful. Full-on drama comes with the delirious De Wraak van het Visschersmeisje (The Revenge of the Fisherman’s Girl) (1914). Exploiting the availability of an exotic dancer (…), this impressively ludicruous mini-drama has two characters savaged by a quite sizeable python, which brightened up the audience no end.”

They spend happy days together, until a fascinating gypsy girl visits the village and attracts Hendrik’s attention. He soon tires of Annie, and his love for Aida ripens. (…)”
