Twenty-five Years Ago Today.
Twenty-five Years Ago Today. Events that made news in 1934, and still stir in memory. The birth of Dionne quintuplets. A miracle of life that thrilled the world over. Still of mother in bed with five tiny babies. Man in cap (father?) shakes hands with minister and another man. Ex-president Herbert Hoover emerges from near-eclipse to dedicate Pasadena's Morris Dam. Herbert Hoover (?) shakes hands with other Caucasian men, unveils a plaque that says "Morris Dam." Chicago's dazzling century of progress exposition goes into an exciting second year. Chicago World's Fair. Uniformed men parade. Crowds walk about. News of the 'silly season' - a pretty girl in Hollywood panicking pedestrians by strolling her pet lion cub. Young Caucasian woman drives in open convertible down urban street -- with a large feline in the convertible with her. Woman takes the big cat for a walk on a leash. In Philadelphia, a human icicle being frozen into a giant ice-cube. Skinny Caucasian man climbs into something and men put transparent lid on top. Man waves from within. On the highways, a smashingly successful demonstration of a new safety guard rail, involving dozens of maimed and battered jalopies! One driver runs another car into the guardrail. Several other automobiles run into and bounce off of the guard rail.
