Suburban Drives: Tennis Days 1930

This circa 1930 silent amateur reel, Suburbs, Driving POVs, Tennis, captures a wealthy family’s suburban life. It opens with a 25-second driving POV on a new four-lane rural road, passing manicured landscapes and under a bridge, with Model A cars streaming below, seen from above. Woodland vistas frame the ride. In posh suburbs, kids and adults pose with tennis rackets by cherry blossoms, play on a shrub-lined domestic court, and romp with a dog on lawns. Fancy home exteriors, lush with trees, showcase leisure—boys volley with dad, a dog barks for treats—blending rural charm and suburban splendor in black-and-white.
