I agree, there's nothing awkward about the narration. This is a slick production for a pre-war film. The aerial footage is fantastic as a contemporaneous record. Travelogue-style films were the high-tech way of learning about other parts of the world, since at the time, no one is flying halfway around the world in less than half a day on a comfortable jetliner.
Other continents, regardless of their cultures and people, are a mystery to the rest of the world until years later.
Nothing awkward. Lowell Thomas was a great narrator.

No salt? How did they do body shots?!
Someone at the university must have had a friend in Hollywood or at Movietone News.
