1927 Odyssey: A Home Movie Mosaic

This 1927 silent home movie collection captures a vibrant tapestry of American life. From Washington, D.C.’s cherry blossoms and aerial views atop the Washington Monument to Belmont Park’s first race and polo triumphs in Westbury, N.Y., it spans cities, sports, and travel. Scenes include Providence, R.I.’s skyline, a bumpy car ride, Jacob’s Ladder in Massachusetts, and the Kensico Dam. Highlights feature Army-Navy football, Pa and Ma Gross’s S.S. Bermuda voyage, and Atlantic City’s boardwalk, all filmed with an amateur’s curious eye.
