Somewhat primitive, it sort of reminded me of the Besse rolls, but this of course was filmed in 1927, so everything was just a tad bit dirtier, of the town of Martinez California. My guess is, is that this was a town that was truly blessed to have the railroad run through it, because, while there may be SOME signs of progress. It still appeared to be a mud and muck kind of town. This was a very interesting reel, as we explore social clubs in the city, the schools football teams, some buildings in town, and the schools. Unfortunately the filmmaker spends a wee bit too MUCH time on the school…
