1930s FAMILY HOME MOVIE WOMEN'S LACROSSE TEAM & BOARDING SCHOOL 44654

This brief black and white, silent home movie was shot by an unknown American sometime in the late 1920s/early 1930s. Unfortunately, we don't know where it was filmed, so if you recognize something please make a comment. The family shown in the film appears to consist of an older daughter and two boys -- the daughter seems to be in a boarding school and is shown at the end of the film playing lacrosse. The film starts with a shot of the family walking down the street in traditional 1920’s attire; the lady wears a close fitting bucket hat and long pearls over a long tunic shirt (:16). Youth play a game of catch outside an apartment building or hotel (:27). They are filmed making faces for the camera man on park benches (1:06). A couple stands together, the woman clutches at her books (1:35). A triage toss a ball on stone in front of the home with a wide unidentified lake in the background (1:47).
