1967 Fire Prevention TV Spots - Preview Reel

Description: Two boys, Donny and Duncan, take a trip to the local playground and swimming pool. Throughout their day, the two demonstrate good sportsmanship and show a respect for established rules within recreational areas., “Sportsmanship” was produced under the Palo Alto Children's Theatre production company, "Children's Productions.” The founder of the Children's Theatre, Hazel Glaister Robertson, noted that she set out to create educational and narrative films for children because the “motion picture industry cannot, because of box office, make films for child audiences without adding adult overtones” (The San Francisco News; Aug. 7, 1945). Film shipping boxes found in our archives suggest that these films were rented and shipped nationally.
