1930s FAMILY HOME MOVIE WOMEN’S LACROSSE TEAM & BOARDING SCHOOL 44654

This brief black and white, silent home movie was shot by an unknown American sometime in the late 1920s/early 1930s. Unfortunately, we don’t know where it was filmed, so if you recognize something please make a comment. The family shown in the film appears to consist of an older daughter and two boys -- the daughter seems to be in a boarding school and is shown at the end of the film playing lacrosse. The film starts with a shot of the family walking down the street in traditional 1920’s attire; the lady wears a close fitting bucket hat and long pearls over a long tunic shirt (:16). Youth play a game of catch outside an apartment building or hotel (:27). They are filmed making faces for the camera man on park benches (1:06). A couple stands together, the woman clutches at her books (1:35). A triage toss a ball on stone in front of the home with a wide unidentified lake in the background (1:47). Dark footage follows from within the home (1:58). A series of family members approach the camera on the sidewalk (2:06). A business man in a straw hat struts for his vehicle (2:35). The family enjoys a swim at a large public pool (2:38). The daughter, dressed in her lacrosse uniform, performs a headstand (3:09). The camera pans over a lightly wooded area with a river cutting through the center (3:42). What appears to be a boarding school is shown, in a rural area with many trees (4:29). A chicken coop (4:52). Women wear thick coats and small close fitting hats signifying it is winter (5:13). A horse is walked to pasture (5:31). Girls ready themselves for a field hockey game (5:37).
