This 1935 silent home movie, Dewenter Home Movies: Europe 1933 2, shot in black-and-white 16mm by Henry John Dewenter and Elizabeth Auer Dewenter, captures their 1933 European journey. Wealthy from oil discovered on their La Verne, California ranch—now a National Register site—the couple, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1907 and married in 1914, likely filmed landmarks, streets, and family moments across pre-war Europe. With sons Henry Adolf and Paul at home, this reel offers a personal glimpse of 1930s travel amid rising tensions, blending leisure with historical backdrop.
