My grandfather came from Ireland in the late 1800’s and settled in the Bronx, NY. My father was born in 1919. Some of the old photos in the family album reflected the way folks lived and enjoyed simple things like picnics, and family gatherings. God, family, country. Thanks for sharing,
Those poor, poor children with no Red Bull, no Doritos, no video games, no internet or cellphone. Must have been pure torment. God rest them they’re in a better place now.
I wish there was a narrator for that odd transition... 4:16 "Now it's time for the sack race! Caaareful not to trip Johnny! And here's Big Ethyl, come to finish off the losers with her lucky hammer! haha, ouch! that must smart!"
Notice all the children are thin and physically fit..no childhood obesity.. it's because they were constantly running and active at that time.. seems to be a lot of positive adult interaction also.. Great Video! Vide
This is a good Vid.People just being people in the good o'l days.When I was watching I thought to myself.I wonder what people would think if I brought my cell phone to this picnic.Lol 😄
In many homes, you can't even get the family together on the couch for television. That's passé; everyone is in their own room, sitting on their own desk chair, watching their own TH-cam video.
I love this video! I work at a public library in Texas, and am hosting a genealogy aid class starting in late spring. I wanted to ask if I could use a 9 second clip from this video for the video advertising I'm going to post for my program. Just let me know, thanks!
Wonder if they had sound on any movie camera in those days. Would have been great to hear what they talked about. A good lip reader may get some clues.
I could not resist buying a Kodak Cine`B 16. It is probably the camera type used. Mine seems to have the K mount lens. I've looked at cameras on E bay and you can get some fine 16 mm cameras for fairly little. I'd highly recommend the Keystone combat camera for its ease of use and the way it is loaded. Loading of the Kodak is some what difficult in comparison to the Keystone. The reason these films are superior is that they used 16 mm film as opposed to Super 8 film. 8 mm was horrible. In fact there are some new S8 cameras with improved gate mechanisms. Plate holds film flatter. They are a couple of thousand bucks. These days it is really hard to justify using film cameras. I do love digital cameras because I am not struggling with dust, or "hair in the gate".
@@richarddowney1972 The Beaulieu was a beautiful camera with lots of controls for shutter speeds et al. Bolex were reliable till they weren't. Year ago EBay showed some wonderful 16 and 35 mm packages you might use for making good looking commercials or music videos which do not really require the use of a great deal of film. You could buy an acceptable camera package for what would amount to a day and a half, or two day rate for a competing digital quality camera. Still a real business may be better off just paying the rental for a Panavision package and a First Assistant Camera. It is true that essentially film is dead. "Hair in the gate." Roger Deakins when speaking of Love of the Robot Woman or Blade Runner 2037?, that movie mentioned he had difficulties with the Lab so much as to prove film was dead. He was nicer about it. And then there is the joy of working with a motion picture camera you don't have to put an entire submarine around for the Sound Department. That you can carry the movie now on an external hard drive is awesome.
My daughter-in-law couldn’t believe that when I was a kid in elementary school all the girls still had to wear dresses in school! LOL!!! And, believe me, in the wintertime when the snow was blowing it was not fun walking about 10 blocks to school with bare legs!! {LOL!!! I sound so old! “Back in the day, young whippersnapper, we walked 57 miles to school in bare feet in 26 feet of snow!!” LMAO!!!}
MAC LOL!!! I know, right?!! I had it too easy!! Only 57 miles! Heck, my dad used to walk 273 miles to school! 🤔Hmmm? I wonder if that's why his sister lived to 103, and why he's still going strong at 91!! ••The ages of my aunt and dad are actually true! 🥰 They, and their brothers and sisters, grew up on a farm in the country during the Great Depression. So, yeah, everyone worked hard, and because they raised animals and planted vegetables, they were always healthy, too!! 😁 And, even though I come from pretty hardy stock, I have to admit that 57 miles is just a tad too far for me to walk!!! LOL!!! 😂
YOU WERE LUCKY! When I was a child we had to use dynamite and pick axes and blast a tunnel 120 miles long through a glacier to get to our school, and we were happy to get there alive!. (BTW, any resemblance to the four Yorkshiremen is completely intentional)
@MAC Tomato cans? YOU WERE LUCKY! we WISHED we had tomato cans! We only got Dynamite on special occasions, most of the time we broke off our own ribs to use as digging tools! Then we flopped around like a wet sack of laundry because we had no skeletons. (And you tell the young people that today and they won't believe you)

These old videos are pure gold. God bless the ones who recorded these for us to see many decades later.
I love the fashion of the day.
Some of this reminded me of "Field Day" at school, where you would races and the parents were invited to come.
They lived their era the best they could! I lived my era the the 60'S and 70's the best I could!
Say, that Dame in the Flapper Dress sure has some nice gams!
Those poor, poor children with no Red Bull, no Doritos, no video games, no internet or cellphone. Must have been pure torment. God rest them they’re in a better place now.
Yes it's too bad they weren't smart enough to invent anything cool. Just tanks, planes and mustard gas.
❤❤❤❤loved it..everyone laughing and enjoying their day ..
Videos are the best realistic way of reliving that era. I hope people upload more.
102 years old film, very interesting.
If that was today, everybody would be staring at their cell phones.
ya arent we suppose to be evolving to a smarter human
Looks like a fun day.
I wish there was a narrator for that odd transition... 4:16 "Now it's time for the sack race! Caaareful not to trip Johnny! And here's Big Ethyl, come to finish off the losers with her lucky hammer! haha, ouch! that must smart!"
These people were lucky if they had radio.
Those were the good old days. I wish I had lived in back than.
Not me
oh i love this. this home movie is so great. the quality is amazing. it really brings the 20s to life. to bad there wasn't color film in those days.
Looks like the well-to-do people at an outdoor event and brought along the help and their children.
Those days people were not dying of thirst you don't see them with bottle water. Lol
Notice all the children are thin and physically fit..no childhood obesity.. it's because they were constantly running and active at that time.. seems to be a lot of positive adult interaction also.. Great Video!
Vide
all dressed up in their Sunday best
Beautiful film of long ago sad to think that they all dead now 😢
Omg. A hopping race. I remember those at the Sunday School Picnics. Do kids still do this today??
Is there an app for it?
Yeah, but they have to wear helmets.
The slow bicycle race,the winner finished last.
This is a good Vid.People just being people in the good o'l days.When I was watching I thought to myself.I wonder what people would think if I brought my cell phone to this picnic.Lol 😄
times haven't changed, I still wear a suit to a picnic
First of all, congrats on still being alive a century later.
@@erikk6604 you realize I was joking, thanks for playing along
these were the days when people actually got out of their homes and spent time together. now you can't peel them of the couch.
Or off their cellphones tablets or computers or video game systems eta.
Because there were no TVs to make one a couch potato.
In many homes, you can't even get the family together on the couch for television. That's passé; everyone is in their own room, sitting on their own desk chair, watching their own TH-cam video.
Amen well said
Excellent merci

Where's the food!?
Thank you!!
They all seem amazed about getting filmed. Wonder what they would think about today and our technology.
Are they wearing boyscout uniforms?
That what I was thinking also.
The good old days before television and the Internet...............
Notice that Obesity was not common.
Wonder if they had sound on any movie camera in those days. Would have been great to hear what they talked about. A good lip reader may get some clues.
Hollywood studios first had it in 1927.
No sound in home movies from the 1920s.
looks like the better part of Colorado USA
Look how slim everyone was back then.
Not everyone was slender. The older ladies who bore probably an average of 5 children were plump.
@@donnaleeclubb119 why bother?
Back when real boy scouts had real knives. xD Back then, you may not have had the time of your life, but you had more time OF your life!
haha so cool 😄
I’d like to know where this is?
Pessoas sorriam viverão tudo acabou ! A VIDA é apenas um sonho
Where was this filmed ?
Id love to see the camera they used here lol

@@TranscendianIntendor Now to find the film and especially processing. I have Bolex 8mm and Beaulieu super 8. Cameras have become objets d'art.

+19king14 Thanks! :D
The Guy who was working the camera forgot to turn the sound on !
No sound on cameras back then. Video was new and a privilege...
yes I know ....... was sarcastic comment ! I know that even a lot of Home video in the 60's didn't have sound
I can't hear these comments. Can someone turn the sound on?
I would hate to have lived back then, and have to wear dresses all the time lol
these were the days when people actually got out of their homes and spent time together. now you can't peel them of the couch.
And playing broom hockey
