A Menagerie of items in this volume. Nothing to go into full analysis scene by scene about, but somewhat interesting nevertheless. This reel focuses on people this time out. First we focus on groups of people, small and large, sitting and walking, etc. I do like nuns, and theres some nice shots of a group of them walking around. Then we focus on Young and Old, and sure enough, shots of people Young.. AND OLD! Are represented. Like the shot of the old lady codger dressed in the fur taking notations on god knows what, the guy in the SHARP red jacket, the school trip, the lady sitting underneath…

Many shots of people "Young and old," "Black and white," "When it rained." "There were many overpasses of great beauty and design." Lots of flowers. "In the Court of Peace were held most of the Fair's notable gatherings." "Irene Castle Day." - lots of dancing. "Scotch lassies from Canada." - pipes and drums. "Costumes of many kinds." Archery range. Detroit Tigers Baseball School. Some demonstraion with wacky Trylon & Perisphere microphones (I think). "Stands for food and everything else." Musicians - guy playing trombone with his nose! Cane stand, food stand, souvenir stand, "Guess Your Age."…
