Mayor James Rolph Street Scene (1917)

★★★★ · It's Grand To Be Male! · Spuzz · 2012-09-01

A whole lot of guys assemble on some steps to congratulate each other! Over what, it's not explained. But in this case, maybe it's best not to know, making the experience a wee bit funnier. Anyways, a pigeon is released! Huzzah! More birds are released! Hats are removed and waved in the air! HUZZZAH! Then the "Mayor", as described in the description leaves, and shakes an endless amount of hands before he leaves (much the chagrin of his chauffeur) and then moves his hand up and down to wave! Very odd mannerism there. Was that the standard greeting during that time? Then it ends with a picture…
