The 1926 newsreel from the Hearst Organization. As seen on Disc 2 of the More Treasures from American Film Archives DVD set.
This 13-minute newsreel is from the Hearst organization covers a little of everything. There are sports, the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, natural disasters and human interest stories. There is film of Musolini and a test of early British Tanks. This is a tinted print, as many newsreels of the time were, and is complete. According to the commentary early newsreels were not stored as complete films, but each individual story was archived separately for easy retrieval. While many of the political and sports stories were saved, the human interest pieces were often not. The fact that this reel was kept in a private collection and is intact makes it a rare find.
