This was so enjoyable. My cousin was born in n 1919 and is still alive today (she's 101)! I love to look back at her world.
Wow!
God bless her!
Sure
Now we have tik tokers
OMG this is a treasure. Never imagined the girls to be so active back then. They look so happy and healthy. Amazing quality
Yup instead of iphone zombies
Well, they were wealthy, so there's that.
The weathy marry the attractive and have attractive healthy children. It's the cycle of life. Look how tall & handsome those girls are
Old school upper crusty Catholic school.
Well... you dont know much, you got to be more enlightened...JUST KIDDING! Fake troll moment!
This is a historic treasure. Finding good "Home Movies" from the 20's and 30's isn't easy. I especially liked the footage showing the gal with the Kodak movie camera.
You tube is the only time machine we'll have
I just love the fashion of that time period.
I love these people that are complaining that these are rich people films and they need to show the average public in the 1920's. Like you can pull that out of your hat! Do they not realize how ULTIMATELY RARE these films are? And in this condition? Run your parents old 8mm movie films from the 1950's through a projector these days and count how many times the film breaks. It is a fragile medium. Don't complain - be thankful! Awesome glimpse into a society that we never visited. Almost 100 years ago.
10:20 This is Lake Geneva in Switzerland (the fountain gives it away). It's great to see the 20s through the lens of an eyewitness.
I'm from NJ and noticed these people are most likely from NJ, Atlantic city was easy to recognize. Same buildings are still there.
Ed ski. Thank you! I was wondering where was this video taken!! 😊
I'm from Long Branch & yes Atlantic City.
So valuable. How was this preserved for almost 100 years?
There's videos a lot older than this. You're also aware of silent films right? There's movies of people from the 1890s and very early 1900s.
It was probably stashed in a closet reeking of mothballs.
If B and W non-nitrate film is kept in a dry, cool area, it will last many years. Very unlike VHF tapes and even CDs.
@Sjors The Extended Directors Cut will have two new frames - never before seen!
@@TheStockwell hahaha
I can only imagine how expensive it was to create these home movies. I never knew anyone did this in the 1920's. I love these old films. They do so connect us to our past. How little we really change!
Kodak introduced 16mm film cameras for home use in 1923 and yes, it was VERY expensive.
And today it is just as expensive again to shoot film and have it developed 🤣
@@stiannobelisto573 No doubt- funny how things come back around, every 100 years or so! LOL. I didn't think about how expensive it is now to develop film as it is so common and cheap to grab our phones and make a video. I still remember the first camcorder my dad bought in the 80's. And, discussing how someday "We will all have phones that we will carry around" when I was in the 6th grade (back in the 80s!).
Thanks for the memory reminders through your comment!
@@TheStockwell Thank you for the info. I had no idea that 16mm cameras were introduced that early. Kodak- what a tragedy they did not foresee the future. I can remember seeing their logo everywhere and of course the perennial Kodak Christmas commercials.
@@stiannobelisto573 Yep. The whole retro "real film" thing sounds SO cool - until you get to the part where you're paying $90.00 to buy, process, and scan 3-4 minutes of footage. 😬
Every time I watch clips from 1920's and there's driving involved.. I actually become more greatful of street lights, stop signs and lanes. Lol
Tai J right 😂
Yeah. Because we sure need them today. In fact we need to have stops at lights and four ways so folks can finish their texts and phone calls. Oh wait, we do. Whether you like it or not.
This was not the average life of anyone in the 20s. This definitely came from the archives of a very affluent family.
My thoughts exactly. Part of the footage looked like a graduation from a women's college. A lot of American families were lucky if their children could make it to the 8th grade.
Agreed, how about showing the life of the working classes.
I'm still thankful to see it
Yep and that is most likely the reason we have the film footage in the first place.
@@robertmasina4610 Those folks didn't have movie cameras and them that did weren't interested in their lessers
Makes you feel like you're there.I was born in 1943 & most of my towns historical sites are gone.
Charming piece of history
In 1923 Eastman Kodak released the first 16 mm "outfit" consisting of a camera, projector, tripod, screen and splicer, for $335. $335 in 1923 equals $5,093.86 in 2020! That and the clothing and cars says these people were not your average working class.These people also made it through the 1918 pandemic! Wow! The Lion of Lucerne in Switzerland from 1821!
That's not how inflation works. Also it's not different than purchasing a Fridge, or a dishwasher.
You know, when looking at old black and white photos, I see only people long dead with cultures long forgotten with technology now laughed at. But in this, I see people, people that I can see and relate to, other than their fashion and technologies...
And One Day...25, 50, or 100+ years from now, people of the future, will see Our photographic images...still digital photos and digital movies, and think the same thing...people long dead, with a technology, long forgotten! I don't know how old You are, but most people today, of the younger generation, would laugh at things We grew up with, while We Are Still Alive! Phonograph Records, which are making a comeback, Stereo 8-Track Tapes,
Cassette Tapes, Boom Boxes, Old School Stereo Systems...also making a comeback, etc. Just because old photos don't move like motion pictures, doesn't make it bad. I've seen old motion pictures, that were far worse!
"A Picture Is Worth, A Thousand Words"...to the right and open minded individuals! Just My Opinion!! :)

But the most important:Laughing and smiling at the shooting camera shall remain an everlasting attitude.
The castle at the end is Warwick Castle, England, the Sealyham terriers are lovely.
great info thanks. And now i know what a 'Sealyham terrier' is.
What an amazing slice of history, and such a Grand Tour. Do we know to whom the film belonged? I'm guessing that was Warwick Castle, but haven't checked to see if visitors were welcomed then - although many Grand Houses would admit visitors - of all kinds - you didn't have to be from the upper echelons, and often the owner, if they were home, would be happy to show you 'round.... Almost reminded me of my school days,although, our Sports Mistress preferred to drill us with tests, rather than actually be sporting! It must have been so exciting seeing planes & barrage balloons...? Very interesting, thank you.
That little girl has some fancy footwork
Everything we create, wear, build, etc, are ever changing but the dogs' styles never change, do they? Love the little guys.
LOVE the clothes !!!
Photography and movies are the only proof that we were on this world .... All these people never.could imagine someone in Brazil would watch them in 2020 .... So imagine when , who and where will watch us in our medias in the future ....
From the women's clothes and hats, the 20s ended at about six minutes in; after that it's all 1930/31. Skirts were longer, waistlines became normal and the cloche hats started showing forehead.
Thanks for your comments John. Appreciate hearing your take on timelines from a fashion perspective.
Great info re. the fashion(s). Thank-you!
We were at that time 300 years for the US. In the fields, with no water, electricity, only the church sings every day ... Children barefoot, no shoes, in families of ten children - one poverty. Thank you for today's day. We have all.Greetings from Slovenia.
The rich in Slovenia were the same as those in America, the poor in America were the same as those in Slovenia.
People used used to live in such a way in 1920`s and 1930`s. We might think, "Wow! it`s incredible! "People used to live in such a way in 2020. People in 2080 might think," Wow! It`s unbelievable."
I wanted to be a generic YT commenter and go "There's no sound!"...lol. Thanks for sharing this. I love anything art deco period. Loved it
I like the sequence beginning at 5:24 of the camera because I have the same and have been shooting and developing the movie films.
If you're talking about a Cine-Kodak Model B, I recently bought it and a 1932 8mm Cine-Kodak. I haven't tried either out, yet - but they still have unused film in them!
I would think that one of the buildings in the girls school segments would make the school easily identifiable.
True! Though after 100,000+ views, no-one has yet been able to identify the school.
Love the 1920s and early 1930s the women then so nice and slim the music was great to the roaring twenty great video l wished l had lived in those times in some ways
Some very pretty flappers and post-flappers there. Good footage as the operator didn't pan back and forth constantly leading to seasickness for the viewer.
2:30 Why is She carrying the puppy like that?!
I thought the same thing! CRUEL!
@@amyd3047 I thought she was carrying the puppy the way the mother dog carries her pups, by the scruff of the neck.
Very very nice 👍👍👍👍👍
How very charming thank you for sharing. so many details to notice. and people seem much more real when unguarded.
It's a real time machine . I'm so excited when watching old videos and photos. Recognized there the lion's statue in Switzerland.

Wow that footage of the girls school in particular show what women looked like before hair dryers,hair strangers and cosmetics!!I'm sure thay had a lot more fun not having to deal with all that stuff.
Actually they have cosmetic and most of them hair is done by ironing or perm. If not do perm, some girls were sleeping with hair curls as well, so, they had fun to dealing with all that. ✌️
Takes me back! Thank you 😊
Cool! Thank you for sharing this!
Amazing! That airship looks like ZR-3 Los Angeles built in 1923-24 by the Zeppelin mfg co in Germany! Any confirmation?
I think you're right tubedude, based on the position of the insignia and motor gondolas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Los_Angeles_(ZR-3)
Even if these ppl had $ it still looks like a great life. Better than now
Exactly! It appears that as a society of people, weve lost something along the way that they had then.
It's not better just different!
Wow, it's fantastic! Very beautiful people! Love the flappers very much!
watching this with The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time playing the music
Thanks for making me aware of this music / art piece. A great fit for the film.
Nice cars, and how much was that camera at the time. Airships and Biplanes 10:37

@Enrique Candelario Castillo Doesn't your computer translate? Mine does.
These people loved the camera. They would have loved Facebook. Technology changes, but people don't.
The real upper class and not the Kardashians! 80 maybe 90 years ago people were rich and wealthy too but in a different way.
Omg the girls seemed incredibly healthy and athletically fit when partipating in track and outside activities.. I'm truly shocked.. they all came from affluent families.. great footage from 100 years ago
AMAZING THANK YOU
So cute and amazing!
weird how they high jumped.
The girls, though (example 6:37), look so incredibly normal. Like 100 years has passed?
I guess a message to all of us: "Eat...Drink..and be Merry..for TOMORROW we may die".
Every one did the high jump the way they do it until the 1968 Olympics when Dick Fosbury came along and did the jump you are used to seeing now which was named the Fosbury flop after him.
And so did the dogs...They lived on the same planet, how did you expect them to look?
@@giuseppenero110 More like wolves

Let me ask you a question
If you have choice either to time travel thought past or future which would you choose
Me personally chooses past
Time travel to the present?
@@FUCKINGENIOUS sorry my mistake

These people were cutting-edge hip..in the 20s. Just like they will look at us a go, "how QUAINT, a hundred years from now. Is that the Charleston or the Lindy the girl is dancing near the beginning?
She's dancing the Charleston. Thanks for watching.
So the shuffle is over 100 years old then.
Cool.
Why couldn't they crop off that annoying flickering on either side of the picture? Totally distracting.
Her camera appears to be a Cine Kodak model K?
Very cool!
Hitler visited the Eiffel Tower and Louvre on his whirlwind tour of conquered France as well as the RR CAR in which the TREATY of VERSAILLE was signed!
Er.. you're a little confused. The treaty of Versailles was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. You're referring to the armistice which was signed in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne.
Why does this vid look like it was filmed in the early 1920's
Because it was....
The Navy Zepplin was on this film
Fine looking man at 11:18.
The gal dancing at 21 to 40 seconds in, is doing the mashed potato !
Thought the same thing. But the Charleston came long before the mashed potato.
@Busty Blonde Beach Bunny She's 103 now.
I’m 72 and I danced the mash potato at 13...that’s Charleston.
I imagine you had to be a billionaire to own your own filming equipement in the 1920s!
canalsoloparaverunvideodemierda I was thinking that Curly and the 3 stooges were going to show up at the golf course 😂🤣
More like a thousandaire. In 1925, a Cine-Kodak 16mm camera cost $175. - 200.00; about the equivalent of $2,000.00 in 2020 currency. It wouldn't have been any more expensive than owning a top-of-the-line Apple MacBook Pro, today.
Movie cameras were expensive, but these people weren’t using Hollywood cameras. They were just recording some home movies on a relatively cheap camera like the kodak cine.
SEM NOMES E ENDEREÇOS.MUITO LUXO E OSTENTAÇÃO.FILMAR E SER FILMADO ERA COISA DE RICOS.AS PESSOAS SE VAO E AS COISA FICAM.ESTAMOS DE PASSAGEM O PLANETA AZUL.
Just remember that the people your watching are wealthy, the average person couldn't afford a home movie camera and developing cost at this time period.
so what. The fact that these folks had some money doesn't make it any less valuable or enjoyable. Go virtue signal somewhere else.

People seemed united and happy. I didn't like the short hair cuts, but loved the clothing. 100 years has passed basically. Amazing where does the time go! If they stepped into this time. They'd be in shock and who knows maybe less wealthy.
Lauren Hall, the clothing is pretty neat, and I do love the short hair that was popular at the time. I’m not sure about the whole “being more united” thing. Racism and xenophobia was absolutely rampant and the KKK was having a resurgence. And even if women had relatively more freedoms than before the 1920s they were still viewed as child-bearers and wives first and human beings second.
@@danielarodriguez-zaccaro5040 I think she means more family oriented. At least that is what I thought she meant.
I don't think they'd be shocked! Amazed for a while but quite willing to disband with their 16th century horse and drive a flivver or turn on a television to see and hear the latest trends. Look how we gave up 8mm film for Super 8mm film for (maybe) 16mm film for VHS tape for DVD discs and vinyl record for CDs. I can just see Elizabeth I (1533-1609) spiffing away on an electric Jew's Harp!
LOL Those people were hamming it up for the cameras. I wouldn't have been surprised if they would have done a duck face. People are people.
0:22 三十年程前、洋食屋の90代のシェフが「今でもチャールストンなら踊れるぞ」って言ってたの思い出した。
Is that grid pattern that appears in a few places something you added or was it in the original footage?
It is in the original footage. Check out the info provided by 'Randy A Riddle' in the comments.
@@orbitcreativefilm Oh wow, that's really interesting
Why are those ladies needle pointing or cross stitching in the middle of a public sidewalk? I always wonder about that.
They're embroidering linen in the local style, whilst wearing heritage clothing outside the shop which sells more of the same.
It's still done.
Those scenes in France with all the graves and the soldiers marching... everyone was thinking that the Great War was a thing of the past when the film was taken. Little did they realize that they would be experiencing yet another world war in about ten more years.
There is more of the picture to the left, being obscured by that silly frame. What's happening there?
Usually when played through a projector you would only see a cropped-in version of this image. Because the original film has been digitally scanned we get to see more than you normally would, including some extra image to the left.
@@orbitcreativefilm Thanks for explaining that, it makes perfect sense now.
I don't know what their feeding those girls at the private school, running , jumping hurdles, marching, throwing javelins with them long skirts on and knee high socks! You know they guys just wore shorts and low cut socks. lol.
Seems like a wealthy family
I want that dog lol
Anyone know what airship that was?? Was it in the US or Europe?
from 5:10 to 5:23 that's a US Navy "Akron-class" airship built by the "Good Year-Zeppelin Corp" and flying in the US. From Wikipedia: Rigid airship built and operated by the US Navy. Less than 20 ft (6.1 m) shorter than Hindenburg, both the USS Macon (ZRS-5) and “sister ship” USS Akron (ZRS-4) were among the largest flying objects in the world in terms of length and volume. The Akron was launched in 1931 and the Macon in 1933.
TY Orbit! I was going to say Akron class but wasn't sure!
@@tubedude54 Thanks to your comment above - i think you're correct in saying the airship was the USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) and not an Akron class airship as previously stated! (based on the position of insignia and motor gondolas)
@@tubedude54
I think you might be interested to see the first few frames of a film i just posted, which has another Zeppelin flying over. I believe this one is an Akron class airship! Can you confirm? ua-cam.com/video/jNoRv0QuVrs/v-deo.html
I think projectors back then were a little creepy.They make people look like they are running/walking really fast.And can't keep up with what they are doing.Other than that the Vid is very good.I love the puppy so cute.The people look amazing and seem very happy.I don't know if I would like to live back then cause I like living in the 20th century.😊😀💖
This movie is from the 20th century. We currently live in the 21 century
It was taken at 16 frames per second silent speed. Sound came in the late 20's and had to be shot at 24fps for better sound quality. This film was played back on modern eqpt of 24fps speed so action is speeded up. Should have been speed corrected.

Was this in the midst of Prohibition? Alcohol was illegal in America from 1920 to 1933.
Can't be true. 16mm movie film didn't exist yet. 1934 was when 16mm film was first manufactured, but don't let truth bother a u-toober...
Perhaps you're thinking of 16mm with sound that was introduced in 1935? 16mm film was first introduced by Eastman Kodak film in 1923.
Some of the early footage must have been shot in the UK since the cars are driving on the right. The same goes for the cyclists scene where the cars are right hand drive. Probably a rich American family doing a European tour whilst most of the population were enjoying the great depression. Oh to have been born into money!!
👍
Time when people really enjoy not pretend to..
Post-reset.
What do you mean Sky Watcher...like "Post WW1" ?

Those dogs did not realize they would die and we'd be looking at them
Lol!!! Those rich girls were very athletic!!!
The hindenburg!!!
It's a US Navy airship.
Who were these people?
Absolutely no one of importance.
Everyday we shuffling..
the girls almost look like they are from Westover School in Connecticut. Their formal school uniform still is a middy dress and they look very 1920's. However still a fabulous all girls school, it was founded as all the other ones were for manners and this school was about academics and athletics!
I wonder what all these have people have been doing lately?
It's weird knowing that all of these people are dead....

I come from the future in the year 1969 the first man will walk on the moon, in 1980 you will start seeing advanced computers, well for you, In the year 2007 you will start seeing very advanced touch screen telephones, in 2024 the first man or women most likely a women will walk on mars and living there, in 2028 quantum computers will start to be manufactured extremely powerful and advanced computers, in the year 2029 to 2050 antimatter spaceships might be made, going 99% the speed of light and might start terraforming mars by then. Well what more do I have to tell you probably can't even comprehend this technology, you most likely live to see it, if you have perished rest in peace, and I'm sorry you didn't get to see. HAVE A HAPPY LIFE OR AFTER LIFE BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you could also tell them about ww2 especially since it looks like they are in Europe
