"The March of Time" - Exeter, New Hampshire

A clip from an early 40s newsreel called "The March of Time," featuring the little town of Exeter, New Hampshire. The Ioka Theater makes an appearance near the end. A throwaway line about the climate made me smile. A few bits of casual sexism are cringeworthy, but nevertheless it's pretty interesting.

Amazing video!

pretty interesting to see how various places looked in the past... thanks for uploading

omg, this looks the same town as when I was a teen, now an adult. I can't believe how many places still remain, unchanged.

Looks like it was a wonderful time to be alive in Exeter!! My great great grandfather (A damsell) is one of the policeman shown in front of the cruiser... very special to get to see him!!!

This looks like an older film to video transfer, Love to see it transferred again using state of the art digital frame scanning process.
