Master 1 - Tape 1 Sequence opens with spectators looking on, behind the scenes, trying to get a glimpse of president Eisenhower. Great color. He appears with Mamie on his arm. People stand behind a police tape barrier that reads "Street Closed". The crowd applauds at one time. Neat shots of the inspection, most shot from behind the President (although a few exceptional CUs.) Nerdy-looking guy hands Mamie a bouquet of purple flowers as the President looks on. It is a neat shot, kind of off-beat Americana. through and through.
