About this footage
Two reels in this set carry clear labels, "worlds fair" and "greenwood lake summer," and between them they account for much of the footage. At the fair in Flushing Meadows the camera walks past pavilions, fountains and flagpoles: a peaked tower flying a Union Jack, a red cable car gliding above a building, a Polynesian restaurant sign, and a leopard pacing in a wire cage. The Greenwood Lake reel is slower. A man climbs down a dock ladder to test the water, another paddles on a white foam float, and a couple pedals a small water cycle.
The rest comes from around the state. Clips at Yankee Stadium follow players in white uniforms warming up and fielding in front of full stands, and youth teams play in Albany. In the city, ocean liners sit at the piers with tugboats, a barge moves past the skyline, and the camera looks down on dense blocks from a great height. Niagara Falls throws up mist.
Useful for work on the 1964 World's Fair, ballpark crowds or lake summers.
