Description: Teenagers from the 1920s take turns doing the Charleston dance, somersaulting, and later wrestling on the front lawn. This exuberant family from Maryland shows off their 1920s fashions and equestrian skills for the camera; notable sequence of a group of nine women riding together in formation. Also features scenes of the children cruising in a miniature toy car around their home, allowing us a glimpse at the family's suburban neighborhood.
