(read more) Information: 1932 6 min BW Show All Newsreels 1930s Titles Newsreels: 1932 - August 11 United States Workmen Flock To 'Idle Town' To Await Revival Of Business Two hundred laborers have established a model 'shack city' almost in the heart of New York City, to be on hand when employment resumes. Headed by an iron-jawed Texas sailor, a Mayor of sorts, the denizens keep their shacks and their streets clean, operate community kitchens, a laundry and a barbershop. The 'Mayor's Bungalow', three rooms and sleeping porch, is City Hall and there the 'Councilmen' devise ways and means to keep their constituents orderly and comfortable until they find jobs again. France The Prince Of Wales Dedicates WWI Memorial On the shell-scarred ridge overlooking the hallowed terrain of the great Battle of the Somme, the Prince of Wales dedicates the elaborate memorial built in memory of 73,767 British soldiers 'missing in action' in the three months carnage near Thiepval, France in 1916. Before a great throng of English, Scotch, Irish, Belgians and French, including President Lebrun of France and his suite of high civil and military officials, the Prince, himself a veteran of the world conflict, makes a strong appeal for international peace and cooperation. A salute by French troops, Scotch bagpipers and the ritual showing of the colors are picturesque highlights of the ceremonies at the base of the 200-foot arch of the Great War Cenotaph. United States The 10th Olympic Games Held In Los Angeles, California In the great West Coast amphitheater, built as the setting for the World's supreme test in sports, has America's sons and daughters win again and again to make the 1932 Olympic Games a runaway for the USA. The speedy American quartette in the men's 400-meter relay race sets a new World mark and wins by fifteen yards with Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and Great Britain trailing in the order named. Jean Shiley and Mildred 'Babe' Didrikson fight it out in the Women's High Jump with Miss Shiley establishing a new world and Olympic record of 5 feet 5 1/4 inches. 'Babe' hits the same mark but loses points in form. And again, in the Women's 400-meter relay, America was predominate with Mary Carew, Evelyn Furtech, Annette Rogers and Wilhelminna von Bremen out-running teams from Canada, Great Britain, Holland, Japan and Germany. American contestants win one-two-three in the springboard diving contest that ends with Mickey Riley Galitzen as World's Champion, Harold Smith placing second and Richard Degener placing third. Helena Madison, comes through with an amazing finish to beat the World in the 100-meter swim for women with her strongest rival being Willemijntje Den Ouden of Holland. Japan sees the dawn of a new day, with Yasuji Miyazaki in first place in the 100-meter free style swimming race. Tatsugo Kawaishi takes second place for the Flowery Kingdom. In the biggest upsets of the International Meet, Juan Zabala from Argentina, wins the grueling marathon race in a new Olympic time of 2 hours, 31 minutes and 36 seconds. His nearest rival, Sam Ferris, of Great Britain, finishes 19 seconds later. The 1932 Olympic Games were indeed a sight to behold. --Contemporary Royalty Free Stock Footage Library: --Business ---- Celebrations ---- Concepts ---- Education ---- Generations ---- Health and Medical ---- Lifestyles --Modern Military ---- Nature Scenic ---- Nature Wildlife ---- Environmental Education ---- On Location ---- Sports Today --U.S. Presidents ---- Weather Watch ---- Contemporary Tragedies And Disasters ---- Motion Graphics - Special Effects --Historical Public Domain Stock Footage Library: --Historic Military And Nuclear Films ---- Newsreels: Events At Home And Around The World ---- Flashback In Time --NASA Space Exploration ---- Classic Cartoons ---- Christmas Programming ---- Religious Programming --Hollywood Films, Television And Trailers ---- Classic Cuts: Single Clip Downloads --Buyout Footage Company Links: --Buyout Footage Homepage ---- About Buyout Footage ---- Stock Footage License Info ---- Submitting Footage To Us --Buyout Footage Site Search ---- Buyout Footage Sitemap ---- Buyout Footage Return Policy --Email Us - Stock Footage Request
