- Description:
- This silent moving image footage shot in Thomasville, Georgia begins in color, with a ceremony crowning a pageant queen (presumably the Rose Queen) before a parade. This is followed by scenes from a parade, which include vehicles carrying dignitaries, and Shriners on horseback. This is followed by black-and-white parade footage of Shriners driving small Jeeps and scooters, a marching band, cars carrying dignitaries and pageant queens, and numerous floats representing local organizations. At the 6:00 minute mark, moving image footage begins again in color, with more scenes from a parade: again, marching bands, cars carrying dignitaries and pageant queens, and various floats representing local organizations. At the 19:06 mark, footage of the parade goes back to black-and-white, continuing until 22:39, where footage of the parade appears again in color. The parade ends with an appearance of the Rose Queen and her court on a float. This is followed by footage of the end of the parade, and the dispersal of the parade crowds.
