Reel 1 contrasts sunny, serene New England countryside with smoky, noisy New York City. Healthy country boys ride hay wagons and run in fields. Pale city children play in a railroad yard. Reel 2 shows poor housing, traffic congestion, and inadequate play areas in New York. Stresses the frantic tempo of city life. Reel 3 shows a modern, planned town: safe and adequate play areas, abundant sunshine, spacious living quarters, clean factory buildings and grounds, ample shopping facilities, and a well devised street system. Contrasts this relaxed life with the hurried pace of the city. The planned towns shown are Greenbelt, Md., and Radburn, N.J. • Contact(s): National Archives at College Park - Motion Pictures (RDSM), National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road • College Park, MD 20740-6001 • Phone: 301-837-3540, Fax: 301-837-3620, Email: [email protected] • National Archives Identifier: 89849 • Local Identifier: CIVIC-CIVIC-225 • https://catalog.archives.gov/id/89849
