foreign one second sorry about that um because of a banking issue I had to clear my history on my uh web browser and that meant that I can't log on to anything and I'm trying to remember all my passwords first world problem anyways I'm skip Alzheimer welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films and I try to propagate the streaming to places like Twitter Instagram uh twitch uh or else how many other teas do we have uh post um Tumblr um Facebook Etc there's a lot of which there's handfuls of people here and there and most of you are on YouTube which is great and I appreciate that but uh if you're watching from another uh social media thing or from The Av Geeks website hey thanks thanks for tuning in um the advantage to YouTube is that I see comments and other people see comments all these other social media things I think I can see twitch but that's about it anywho we just watched some amateur footage well probably semi amateur footage of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and the Japanese tea garden um there which is really beautiful we've been there a couple of times I have friends who are kind of all around that um that Park and so we've visited many times and it's close to an Amoeba Records which is really an awesome place if you have not been on the West Coast all right uh let's watch um [Music] uh Castle films they had a series of films that they made for home use really uh and the idea was that somebody who had a projector who were showing home movies or they were an amateur filmmaker uh they could go to their camera store and they could buy other things selected shorts newsreels cut down features cut down um cartoons things like that so this is part of their Sports parade Big Fish enjoy we're out for fishing in a big way and first we'll cast our bait for coffin those big fish that inhabit the rivers and Bays of Mexico and Central America [Music] they're big all right ranging on the average of over 150 pounds but the record show that some have been caught weighing nearly 250 pounds here he comes and there's still plenty of fight left in him well we're not doing so badly he's a Whopper to put with the day's cat and here they come ashore a thousand pounds of victory for us this is fishing by the wholesale and it takes heavy Nets to Corral these Monsters of the deep up they come on their way to the canning Factory and maybe to your table not one in the catch weighs less than 600 pounds and it's not a fish story to say that once a 1500 pounder was captured that's a lot of tuna into the safety Pond they go ten thousand pounds of tuna in a day's catch [Music] we're off the east coast of Florida with a host of other boats out for those jumping battling sailfish and Marlins the bait is a whole fish for the sailfish are heavy eaters it is dropped from a rod and reel or swung away from the boat from the Outrigger they are Fighters too like lightning they take the base out of the water they jump trying to throw the hook from their mouths it's a sport for real fishermen with strong muscles and plenty of endurance [Music] foreign is the first to have luck and here is the prize but the fight goes on another line tightens another battle between man and fishes are [Music] it's summer off the Florida coast and the warm Waters of The Gulfstream lure such monsters as these to the Bay watch him fall and jump and tug what a tough one that fisherman is battling foreign it actually took over an hour to land this one but in this picture we'll bring him in in a minute and he's a Dandy foreign but what's the difference they're big enough to go after with a different kind of bait and here it is there she blows quails seem to Rove around the Waters of the Seven Seas but we're now in the South Pacific and having luck this one measured 72 feet and weighed 85 tons while the crew is pulling him in let's see what's happening on the port side a thousand pound stranger a sunfish wondering what it's all about but he's useless as food or for anything else so we let him go after a warning further aft we discover another stranger evidently after our cat too a hammerhead shark and he comes aboard foreign now for a whale of a thrill out in a small boat for the big sea mammals one swish of a whale tail could break the small grass into Splitters but some men know their job and on they come yeah it's dangerous work whether you like it or not two is enough for today so while they are being towed back to shore they are pumped full of air to make them float one man in a row boat is enough to tow the whale ashore but it takes real power to drag him up and that's the end of a big fish story here's bait for the biggest fish in NEC but after all we're out to bring in enough for dinner and this time it's salmon foreign no time for Line and Sinker here these fellows want mass production so great heavy Nets do the job these are all over 30 pounds some as high as 50. it's a Fisherman's Paradise [Music] um in comes the silver horde hundreds of shiny thrashing salmon so many that they nearly sink the boat we've loaded three tons of salmon already [Music] we went out for big fish and we got him [Music] I think that uh that background music was so intense that you could you could narrate anything and it would just be the Super exciting rollicking event that was way over the top um so yeah that was a lot of big fish big ocean fish fishing um some people make comments in the YouTube comment Thread about well we we don't have it as good anymore because of overfishing and because of other climate issues so this rollicking look at fishing back in the 40s now serves as a wow look how things used to be um and can be a little depressing or maybe kind of a reminder of like oh yeah you know there's not an unlimited supply of fish we have to figure out a way to to balance our fishing anyhow beyond the downer message uh this is women's history month and I have been challenged to show at least one film about women's history uh a day and we'll see uh how I can do I think I can uh this next film is a reenactment film and this is part of a series that CBS News did uh in the 60s and I think a couple in the early 70s and this is the you are there series and it's narrated by or introduced by Walter Cronkite then you have other uh CBS news correspondents who are there at the event and it's like it's a real trial uh or a real event and they're covering it and in this case it is a trial and I know some of you are uh have just seen the murder murder I don't know the guy is anyways South Carolina trial verdict so you're you're set for another trial and this is the trial of Susan B Anthony so enjoy [Music] foreign [Music] Rochester New York Miss Susan B Anthony American citizen is being arrested for a felony committed on the previous election day her crime she voted I'm in your custody sir I trust that you are well armed in case I should try anything desperate June 18 1873 [Music] the trial of Susan B Anthony [Music] you are there [Music] suffrage the right to vote has been granted to every citizen except women without the right to vote and the political power that goes with it women have virtually no rights at all to protest their merely ornamental citizenship increasing numbers of women have organized and are openly demanding that the hand that bakes the biscuits and Rocks the Cradle also be allowed to cast The Ballot foremost among them is Susan B Anthony one-time Quaker School teacher and famous abolitionist in the last national election she voted and was arrested promptly today is June 16 1873 the day before her trial David gohane is at Susan B Anthony's Home in Rochester New York all things are as they were then except you are there is her attorney The Honorable Henry R Selden an old personal friend and a strong supporter of her cause Miss Anthony yes why did you vote you knew you'd be arrested didn't you it did occur to me yes each state has laws that deny the vote to women to fight the one by one state by state will take forever I thought that by voting in a national election and appearing in a federal court a test case and winning I could have all of those laws declared unconstitutional then you admit you voted illegally oh no no that has yet to be proved in court when I testify tomorrow my authority shall be the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution all persons not all masculine persons all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and all citizens not all citizens who wear trousers all citizens regardless of race or color or previous condition of servitude have the right to vote but that refers to slavery and so do I to be governed without one's consent is slavery if this law consents to that then it is a bad law it would appear that few of your colleagues in the women's rights movement agree with you that is not so how do you explain then that none of the leaders have spoken out in your defense Lucretia Mott Elizabeth Katie Stanton will they be here for your trial they will be here if they could they have other pressing affairs Mrs Stanton has domestic responsibilities a family a child otherwise she would most certainly be here she's one of my closest friends isn't the real reason that they feel you are too militant now please please no more questions Susan is your attorney I'm afraid I must insist this as my attorney not as my guardian thank you Miss Anthony oh sorry Henry I seem to have so few friends I can't afford to turn against the one who is most loyal look at me Henry I know Joan of Arc if the movement needed a martyr I'd be a poor choice all I can do is scold people I could be convicted you know oh yes yes I could and if I lose the movement could be discredited and ridiculed well I can't blame Mr Stanton and the others for not wanting to share that with me everything depends on what I say to that jury tomorrow doesn't it that's right Susan now with juries especially for a woman demeanor is important be forthright but not bold and shall I cast my eyes down too and simmer all right Susan all right testify any way you wish but please please not in that red shawl but I always wear this yes I know and it's become notorious read that it gives you the character of a revolutionary but that's what I am I am as opposed to Taryn as Patrick Henry was and as I like to think Mrs Patrick Henry walls [Laughter] it is June 17th the case of the United States of America versus Susan B Anthony is now being tried in the U.S Circuit Court Northern District of New York The Honorable Ward hunt presiding we switch you now to the town of Canandaigua near Rochester to the trial already in progress and to George Herman the defense has finished its opening statements and is preparing to call its first witness as soon as the luncheon recess is over the supporters of Miss Anthony say that the government has had the trial moved to Canandaigua from Rochester because it would be easier to empanel a jury here which would be more hostile to miss Anthony many of the spectators are men occupying seats they say they would ordinarily surrender to the ladies who now must if they so desire equality learn to do without such polite attentions some Miss Anthony's supporters say they don't mind standing up for their cause and are doing just that in the back of the courtroom Bob Barr is there [Music] we are three women all active in the women's rights movement Miss Everhart to a lawyer what in your opinion is the significance of this case first let me correct you I am a lawyer offense that I read for the law my father's offices and I am fully qualified for the bar but I am forbidden to practice solely on the grounds that I am a woman now my legal opinion if Susan Anthony is acquitted every female will feel as free to vote as she does and they'll have to pass an amendment to the Constitution permitting it or be prepared to arrest every woman in the country Miss Boss you're a teacher and recently discharged for your women's rights activities I spoke out at a school board meeting I'm afraid I gave him fits I told them it was unfair for women teachers to be paid only ten dollars a month while men were being paid 40 for teaching the same children and didn't have to sweep out the school room besides and you were dismissed for that well I called the board president an old mini hammer equal opportunity of equal pay Mrs cleminger what do you think the vote could mean for married women dignity a sense of worth for some women's survival you see legally a wife is not really her husband's partner she's his property and a piece of brute which a bless Heaven mine is not he can beat her betray her desert her cast her aside and then come back and and take away her earning savings goods and even her children the laws permit this because men voted to pass those laws Susan Anthony is only trying to give an equal vote to their victims for which if she's convicted she can get three years in jail Miss Everhart a legal opinion again what do you think of her chances I think her case rests entirely on her how well she defends herself when she testifies suffragists are now claiming that judge hunt like District Attorney Richard Crowley was hand-painted because of his outspoken bias against women's suffrage your honor I propose to call me Susan bien objective she is not competent to uh testify on her own behalf on the ground that she is not qualified to testify on points of law exception your honor I must take an exception the clerk will notice but your honor is please hear from your opening argument that you intend to draw out testimony involving the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution that sir is Law and outside the competence of this witness respectfully your Honor's ruling denies my client a day in Court denies the jury the right to hear her motive for the ACT which has been accused this court is the judge of the law and what constitutes it as the jury is the judge of the facts your clients motives do not constitute facts sir and are therefore not admissible in evidence your honor the Irish a Court's ruling stands [Music] are not going to let me speak they're afraid of what I might say a condemnation under the circumstances would only add one more weighty reason to those I have already given as to why women need the aid of the ballot for their own protection thanking your honor Gentlemen of the jury I submit my case this court will recess for one hour Miss Ellen has just completed his closing argument for the defense he spoken steadily for more than three hours and his client's fate is now up to the jury thank you Henry for that magnificent defense if all men have the heart to match your elephants I'd have no fear of The Twelve in that cherry boss I feel better about the jury if the judge had allowed you to testify I feel certain that he's called this recess to spoil the effect of Mr selden's arguments I must confess that I am disappointed that I was not committed to convince jury that what I did was the act of a patriotic Citizen and not that Obsession bitter Old Maid I'm sorry I don't recall the name or the mammoth well my name has a Mrs in front of it I'll tell you that and if yours had I don't think you'd be out agitating against Heavenly law Madam I'm only trying to amend the Constitution not the Holy Bible which sacred book declares that man and wife are one flesh and one flesh means one vote what you are doing is wicked setting man against wife in any decent home the Mr does a voting as a lord intended let me tell you missy if I get the vote I'll refuse to exercise it that is a privilege that your husband already has I'm sure that his esteem for you would increase if you could vote and out of respect for him you refrained that would be like renewing your marriage vows every election day and there would be rejoicing in heaven and in Washington at the same time you are a disgrace to yours gender and you madam are a nimmy hammer this is Hal Walker with district attorney Crowley Mr Crowley why is there so much opposition to women's suffrage I shall be candid sir in a man's hand the uh the ballot is a tool a political tool in milady's hand it's apt to be a dust cloth she'd be forever flicking it about like try to clean things here rearrange things there putting this thing in the Attic that thing in the cellar flick the flick flick you mean they'd be reformers they not they'd have females in the professions that have equal wages for the factory women there'd be no children in the factory at all and that Anthony woman she's a bearcat for temperance she'd level all our saloons and have every man Jack of us wearing a pretty white ribbon lily of the valley just Just a Touch frankly neither party wishes to embrace the women politically I mean because as a class they can't be dependent upon to vote along party lines mean just so now you take the slave the Republicans gave him the ballot along with his freedom gratitude tells them where to vote and the Immigrant naturalized and enrolled in the Democratic party with the same dip of the pen down the Gangplank and into the polling booth he knows who to thank but the women seven million votes with no political experience or education and no party Allegiance the thought is staggering politically might in such independence be a good thing well after the jury to decide they might decide so but there will be no Petticoat vote why every office holder in the country would feel panicky just a moment sir you said if it were up to the jury what do you mean by if oh did I say that slip of the tongue of course excuse me I must go back to court all right this is the crucial moment for Susan B Anthony her fate is up to the jury foreign here is what you are charged to consider the defendant stands indicted under the act of Congress of 1870 which makes it an offense for any person to knowingly vote without having the right to vote the defense insists that she has such a right and decided the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States if the 15th Amendment had contained the word sex the argument of the defendant would hold the word nowhere appears and so the argument Falls there is no question for the jury and therefore it is directed to find the verdict of guilty your honor your honor respectfully but most forcefully I submit for the verdict of guilty is surely a matter for the jury to decide your honest direction is one that no court has the power to make in a criminal case take the verdictions hearken to your verdict you say you find the defendant guilty of the offense whereof she stands indicted and so say you are I asked the clerk to pull the jury Gentlemen of the jury you are discharged we're waiting for judge hunt last night he denied a defense motion for a new trial and nothing remains now but the formality of sentencing and we did all that we could Susan all that we could you did anyway Henry there's no more for me to do but to stand up and be sentenced odd isn't it I started out to three all women and I end up by making one more prison all right the card is now in session The Prisoner will stand as the prisoner anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced Mr honor I have many things to say for your ordered verdict of guilty has trampled on the foot the vital principles of our government you have degraded not only me but every member of my sex from the station of a citizen to that of a subject the court cannot listen to a rehearsal of arguments which the prisoner's Council has already consumed three hours in presenting may it please your honor I'm not arguing I am simply supplying the statement your honor requested of me your denial of my citizens right to vote is the denial of my right of consent as one of the governed the denial of my right of representation as one of the tasks the denial of my right to a trial by a jury of my peers my equals therefore the denial of my sacred rights to life liberty property and the Bible not allow another word but your honor will not deny me this one poor privilege of protest may it please your honor to remember that since the day of my arrest this is the first time that I have been allowed one word in defense in front of a judge or jury jury of my peers the court must insist The Prisoner has been tried according to the established forms of law yes your honor but by forms of law all made by men executed by men in favor of men and against women only yesterday that same man-made law declared it a crime to give a cup of cold water or a crust of bread or a night shelter to a panting fugitive slave as he was tracking his way to Canada and every man or woman in whose base cost one drop of human sympathy violated that Wicked law and was justified in so doing [Music] the court will not allow another word it orders the prisoner to sit down when I was brought into this court before your honor I had hope for justice but failing even to get a jury not of my peers I asked not for leniency from your hands but rather for the full rigor of the law The Prisoner will stand up prisoner will rise the sentence of this court is that you pay a fine of one hundred dollars and the cost of the prosecution this is a surprise this unexpected leniency it suggests the government fear is making a martyr of Miss Anthony in hopes that if she accepts an easy penalty she'll be confessed guilt may it please your honor but I shall never pay one dollar of your unjust penalty all the stock and trade that I possess is a ten thousand dollar debt incurred in publishing my newspaper the sole purpose of which was to educate all women to do precisely what I have done rebel against the man-made unjust unconstitutional forms of law attacks fine in prison and hang women while they deny them the right of representation in the government and I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the Practical recognition of that old revolutionary Maxim resistance to tyranny his obedience to God [Music] Susan B Anthony never paid the fine she never went to jail and she never got the vote not for herself anyway but for the rest of her life she and the women's rights movement she led continued the fight for equal suffrage by amending rather than reinterpreting the Constitution finally in 1920 14 years after her death had courageous efforts paid off the 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave the vote to the women of America it was known them and still is as the Susan B Anthony Amendment what sort of a day was it a day like all day is filled with those events which alter and illuminate our times and you were there [Music] foreign [Music] what's fascinating let me stop this real quick what's fascinating is me is I try to do some research online to see if there's any more information about this production uh and IMDb fails they they list this was made uh in 71 but they don't really List the cast which was phenomenal I mean calling Dewhurst and then you all these other uh character actors uh really fascinating um and so this was made for television uh it was educational then it was made uh as you saw it was shot to video and then they did a kinescope and they distributed film copies to schools the other interesting thing is that CBS News did this in 1955 and so this was a remake that had updated actors and so it's interesting they redid it in 71. all right um it's kind of becoming spring here even though it's probably going to snow again uh so we had a thunderstorm and generally in North Carolina if there's a thunderstorm in the winter then within 10 days we get snow and it looks like it's forecast for snow in about 10 days so but that does not keep the robins from showing up so there's a lot of robins that have been in everybody's yard yelling at squirrels and other animals and this is a film about that this is robin redbreast enjoy thank you it is early spring flowers will soon be in bloom already willows are showing their fuzzy coats about the time winter snows are melting Robins begin flying back North from their winter homes father Robin always comes first [Music] you may see him with his bright red breast sitting on a fence post or in the early morning you may hear him singing high up in a tree father Robin finds a good place for a home with plenty of water and plenty of food mother Robin arrives a little later and soon the fields and forests are filled with the songs of these best-known North American birds when the warm days of spring come on the robins begin building their nests to start with Father Robin hunts for grass strong dry grass and carries it to a good safe place in a tree as he builds the nest he shapes it with his body with his wings and his tail mother Robin does her share of the work both Robins make trip after trip Gathering the grass they carry it in their beaks see how mother Robin drops the grass into the nest and works it into shape sometimes Robin's plaster the inside of the nest with mud they press the mud into the grass and this makes a strong well-built Nest shaped like a bowl one week later mother is sitting on the nest while father is singing nearby look there are four eggs in the nest four pale blue robin eggs whenever mother Robin leaves the nest father Robin sits on the eggs keeping them warm for eggs must be kept warm if they're to hatch for two weeks day and night mother and father take turns keeping the eggs warm all the time one baby robin has just hatched and another egg is hatching see the hole the baby inside is picked in one shell now there are two baby robins their eyes are still closed but their mouths are wide open soon there will be four babies mother Robin spends much of her time keeping the Mist clean but look there are only three babies did one fall out or did a CAT take it father and mother Robin busily care for the three that are left baby robins need a lot of food earthworms are good food for them what a big wide mouth now the robin babies are a little older mother Robin divides a worm between two of them but the third will have to wait and here comes father Robin and now the third baby at last gets his share father Robin Nestles carefully over the young birds to keep them warm it has been two weeks now since the babies were hatched how their feathers have grown they need more and more food father and mother Robin work all day long into the wide mouths goes the food that helps the young Robins to grow big and strong it is a few days later the babies are still growing their feathers are growing too as mother Robin is watching nearby she sees something it's a big cap prowling among the trees the babies don't know they're in danger but the cap goes to the very tree where the young Robins are father Robin is excited UPS climbs the cat coming closer and closer for a moment longer father Robin watches and then suddenly he flies straight at the cat now he dies at him the cat has had enough for this time the young robins have grown so much that the nest is crowded one big baby finds more room by climbing on top of brother Robin and that's not very comfortable for the one below today two of the robins have left the nest and are exploring the branches about them brother Robin is left all alone he's not sure that his wings will carry him gradually he picks up courage although he may sit for hours on the branch beside the nest he may even sleep here for the night this one has found a place among the leaves when young Robins are about cats should be kept indoors here's another of the babies after a while young Robins will have red breasts like their parents this woman doesn't know how to get its own food yet but his parents are not far away and mother robin keeps bringing him worms before long the young Robins are old enough to find food for themselves earthworms are their favorite food and they never seem to get enough of them when days are warm Robins like to bathe father Robin takes a shower by splashing water over himself while baby robin takes his bath in a nearby pool this young Robin is preening his feathers preening helps to give the robin a fine clean coat isn't this a nice place to rest and there's plenty of food nearby robins eat many kinds of berries and fruit besides berries and fruit and worms their favorite food Robins may eat grasshoppers caterpillars beetles and other insects the worms insects and berries that a young Robin eats in just one day May weigh more than the baby robin itself how the robins have grown this one looks almost as large as its mother see how fluffy his feathers are and what a strong Bill he has now the young Robins are old enough to take care of themselves they've learned how to fly and how to find food look at this mother and father Robin are building a second nest Robin sometimes raised two or three Broods in a year and they build a new nest for each brood when the second brood is hatched mother and father Robin must begin all over again to care for the nest and bring food to their young ones by the time the first Frost has come in autumn the robins have begun to flock together soon they are ready to fly away to a warmer climate where they will live through the winter but though they go south now they will return next spring to start new homes once again friend James Brill narrating um he was Encyclopedia Britannica narrator even before Encyclopedia Britannica there were other film companies he did things for like erpey uh so this next film is Again part of that series that I've been showing several films from the New Horizons series made by Pan American films oh no I'm sorry Pan American Airlines uh and these films I forgot to say like one of the places that they would show them is on a plane uh that was the way that they would fill in the time is they would show TV shows that would show edited movies that would show news um and then they would show promotional material and this is one of the the ways they could do it now what's interesting uh with this particular copy is I I think it was a couple of films ago we saw a really amazing Focus leader uh this is a more complete version of that Focus leader and I try I'm gonna hopefully try to find a complete because it's awesome uh and and this is awesome because traditionally a focus leader is not meant for the public to watch like it's meant for the projectionist the projectionist watches it and then you know focuses and then when you get to two you stop the projector so what happens is then when you're ready to present you start the projector and it fades up so you the audience is not supposed to see a countdown they're not supposed to see the the focus leader or any of that but I have a feeling that this was meant to be shown for General audiences and like the projectionists usually I think was doing this on the fly so here is New Horizons Uruguay enjoy as a focus leader yes we can't movies look like this New Year soundtracks sound like moose or flank so you need this Focus leader first set your lens so that these lines are sharp and clear on all parts of the screen Now set the volume control on your projector the sound level should be adjusted until my voice can be clearly understood in all sections of the room you are now ready to participate in another Pan-American travel Adventure please foreign [Music]
