Turn of the century [Motion picture]
Uses photographs and fragments of silent movies in presenting a chronicle of the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Looks back nostalgically at the summer picnic, the weekend cruise, the fashions and the foibles, and the reverence for all things Victorian. Reviews events, inventions, and achievements up to the end of 1913, including the building of a transcontinental railway, the influx of European settlers to the prairies, the first air flight at Baddeck, of advent of the motion picture, and divisive issues that touched off political defeat or victory.
