Description: Description: In the 1920s a wealthy white family expresses affection and playfulness, and dances the Charleston, plays tennis on a personal court, and takes in horse races. Joining them in showing off their new Model T for the camera is a Black chauffeur and auto care professional, while a Black young woman childcare professional plays tea with the youngest child. Both are shown interacting closely with their employers. Elsewhere in the reel the shadow of World War I lingers, expressed by the man in the family acting out military routines with a golf club, and military uniforms worn by competitors at a horse show.
