- Description:
- This silent moving image footage shot in Thomasville, Georgia begins in color, and shows young women in ball gowns stepping onto the lawn in front of a plantation-style home. They assemble for a group shot, and several individual shots. This is followed by footage of the Parade of Roses that is attended by a large group of people. The parade includes numerous floats, automobiles containing dignitaries, and marching bands. Several shots pan across the large crowd. The next bit of footage is of groups of synchronized swimmers performing in a pool. This is followed by assorted shots of young women in ball gowns and antebellum-style gowns. The next piece of footage is black-and-white and features another parade (presumably the Parade of Roses). There are numerous floats and marching bands. The black-and-white footage shows signs of damage.
