New Year Redux: Walkin' Home, Again - 1920's Girlie Film


A bevy of flappers prances around the beach, having such a good time they can't help but strip to their skivvies. A ragamuffin, who watches them from behind a rock, swipes their clothes as they play carelessly in the waves.

Ted Weems with Flappers


You know you've made the Big Time when you're leading a band that's accompanied with a chorus line of perky flappers.

But then again, if you're Ted Weems in the late 1920's & early 1930's, this is the life of a famous radio bandleader.

It's just another day at the beach on the Eastern Seaboard during the Jazz Age, perhaps in Coney Island or Atlantic City.

Music: New Orleans


Newsreel documentary from the 1920's with photography and animations illustrating old New Orleans, the Crescent City, at work and at play.

Duelling oaks. Influences of colonial France and Spain. Iron grille work. The old townhouses surrounding open courts.

New Orleans, the industrial city, where ports and depot junctions distribute throughout, and out from, the heart of America.

Culture shipped to & from the world.

And, of course, Mardi Gras, Jazz age style.
