About this footage
Children run through almost every reel here. They ride bikes and learn to roller skate on a quiet street, swing in the yard, pose in cowboy hats with toy rifles, and play circle games in the kitchen while the women look on. A black-and-white puppy sniffs at a child's red cowboy boots, and two dogs wrestle on the lawn.
Christmas gets plenty of film: a boy hanging red ornaments high on the tree, a toddler lifted up to the lights, and a brother and sister in pajamas posing with Santa beside a tinsel tree. Outings include a wooden roller coaster, a miniature train ride, a carnival crowd, a girl feeding black lambs, and a family wading in a rocky creek. Not every reel matches the Kansas City label, though. Several show palm-lined streets, white stucco buildings, a dark headland over the sea, and a man pulled from the water onto a boat with a gaff pole.
Fits stories about 1959 suburban childhood and family Christmases.
