1929 Wall Street Stock Market Crash
The most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States; Its from my favorite documentary by PBS - New York. This particular part about Wall Street crash of 1929 is from episode 5 of the series with title: Cosmopolis there are lots of archive photos, footages and drawings throughout the series and in my opinion it was great work done with finding them. series website: www.pbs.org "Archival shoots took place at various historical and cultural institutions, including the New-York Historical Society, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Library of Congress, and focused on the filming of particularly rare or large-scale archival prints, lithographs, maps, and photographs"

Duke Ellington - Black And Tan Fantasy 1929 Arthur Whetsol plays the jungle style trumpet solos!
Duke Ellington and his Orchestra 1929. Black And Tan Fantasy. Black Beauty Cotton Club Stomp These are excerpts of the early jazz art movie : Black And Tan Fantasy It shows the band in a setting very close to what the band did in the famous cotton club, backing dancers, singers and other acts. Black and Tan Fantasy is one of the first pieces Ellington recorded in what is now called jungle style. Originally in 1927 it was a kind of solo piece for trumpetter Bubber Miley. There also exist a lovely version (Even 2 takes) where Jabbo Smith substitutes for Miley, also 1927. When the time was ready in 1929 to make a movie recording, Miley had allready left the Ellington band. What makes this movie very interesting is that not Miley's follow up, Cootie Williams plays the solos, but instead it is Arthur Whetsol. Cootie was allready in the band, but self declared in an interview that at first he did laugh about the growl/plunger solos and only after a while started studying it seriously. Arthur Whetsol was more known for his lyrical solo work, a famous example is the haunting beautyfull tone on Creole Rhapsody. Another striking lyrical solo by Whetsol can be heard on Black Beauty, also in this movie. Also note that Whetsol plays the muted solo on Black and Tan with a harmon mute, usually it is done with a plunger by others. Also an interesting note is that the alto saxophone solo, that used to be played by Otto Hardwicke, is not played by his follow up Johnny Hodges, but instead <b>...</b>

1929 Schneider Trophy
In early 1928, the Schneider Trophy rules were changed. It was agreed that it should be held every two years instead of annually in order to provide more time for competing nations to build and test their new machines. This was a great help to Mitchell as he readied himself for the defence of the Trophy at Cowes. When beginning work on the design for the Supermarine S.6, Mitchell made an important decision, one that he had held back on in 1927. He felt that the Napier Lion engines, although always reliable, had been developed to their limit. He decided he needed a new manufacturer and sought the advice of Maj. GP Bulman, an Air Ministry official responsible for the development of aero-engines. Bulman confirmed his thoughts, Mitchell approached Sir Henry Royce, and so began a partnership between Supermarine and Rolls-Royce that was to prove invaluable, not only in the creation of race engines but later in the production of both the Merlin and Griffin engines that so successfully powered the Spitfire. Rolls-Royce provided assurances that they could supply an engine of at least 1500hp, with development up to 1900hp, and, most importantly, little or no increase in frontal area. Supermarine gave Rolls-Royce only six months to produce the power unit and the result was a fully tested "R" engine. Mitchell designed the S.6 around the basic streamlined shape of the earlier S.5, moving the floats forward to carry the extra weight of the "R" engine when on water. Because of the <b>...</b>

Mickey Mouse Piano Solo - The Opry House (1929)
This is a short clip from an early b&w Mickey Mouse cartoon called "The Opry House". It shows the first time in an animated film where the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor" is used. This tune would become famous in animation history due to later cartoons such as "Rhapsody in Rivets", "The Cat Concerto" and "Rhapsody Rabbit". And if you watch closely, you'll see that "Rhapsody Rabbit" borrowed heavily upon this performance by Mickey, as they use the same general situation and have a number of similar gags. ==================== Note that I am now moderating the comments because of some bad apples.

Charley Patton - Spoonful Blues (Delta Blues 1929)
Charley Patton - Spoonful Blues A song about cocaine Charlie Patton born Mississippi, April 1891 was an experienced performer of songs before he was twenty years old and was first recorded (Thankfully) in 1929. His influence is everywhere and was arguably the first of the greats. An influence on Son House, Tommy Johnson, Bukka White and without doubt Howlin' Wolf. We have to thank archivists, the likes of Harry Smith, that we can hear these inimitable songs today.

(Very Rare!) Mussolini's Speech - in English! (1929 Fox Movietone Newsreel)
Very rare footage of the infamous Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini. In his Fox movietone newsreel footage from March 1929, he speaks in English (!) - Not so many people don't know, but Mussolini could speak English, French and German fluently, although he had very strong accent when speaking English. Mussolini says (Roughly transcribed); "I am very glad to be able to express my feelings to the American nation. Friendship which Italy looks to millions of citizens who from..... from Pacific to Atlantic..... United States is very deeply rooted in our hearts. This feeling created by mutual interest in preparation of an even brighter era in the life of both nations. I agree - the wonderful energy of the American people and I feel....... my fellow citizens who are working to make America great. I salute the great American people, I salute the Italians of America who unite in the love of the nation."

Annette Hanshaw - Moanin' Low (1929)
Annette Hanshaw (October 18, 1901 - March 13, 1985) was one of the first great female jazz singers. In the late 1920s she ranked alongside Ethel Waters, Bessie Smith and the Boswell Sisters. Her singing style was relaxed and suited the new jazz-influenced pop music of the late 1920s. Although she had a low opinion of her own singing, she continues to have fans because of how she combined the voice of an ingenue with the spirit of a flapper. Annette Hanshaw - Moanin' Low (1929)

Silents Talk: Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford in Taming of the Shrew 1929
A clip from 1929's "Taming of the Shrew", starring superstar silent film couple Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. This was Mary's second talkie after Coquette, and Doug's first. The film opened shortly before the stock market crashed, and subsequently did not do as well as hoped (though it wasn't a total flop). Mary and Doug would go on to make a handful of talkies separately, both retiring by 1934. Their marriage began to crumble with the making of this film, and they divorced in 1933.

Woman in the Moon (1929) The Launch - Part 1
Woman in the Moon, or in original German, Frau im Mond was a science fiction silent film released in 1929, and is often considered to be one of the first "serious" science fiction films. The title Frau im Mond translates to "Woman in the Moon". It was written and directed by Fritz Lang, based on the novel Die Frau im Mond (1928, translated as The Rocket to the Moon) by his then-wife and collaborator Thea von Harbou. The film is a strange mixture of accurate science and incorrect guesses. The basics of rocket travel are presented to a mass audience for the first time. The idea that the moon rocket Friede would be submerged in water before launch was incorrect. Though the special effects used in the movie were innovative for their time, the movie was not a financial success, and also since most of the public began considering silent movies a thing of the past in 1929. Part 1 has been heavily edited to fit the time restraints. Stay tuned for Part 2 which features the landing on the moon!

1929 Home Construction
This is 16mm home movie from 1929 of the construction of a large estate home. 16MM film was introduced in the 1920's as a home movie medium. Since 35mm film was printed on nitrate filmstock that could easily combust, a smaller gague (16MM) was created that was printed on saftey stock made of acetate that was safe for home use. The cost of a 16MM camera at this time cost more than a car. Thus this is a common example of a 16MM upper class home movie project.
