Home Movie: Gordon Hewes Collection: 004289 (silent)

Description: People at leisure and posing for the camera in a garden and perhaps at an outdoor event. Reel begins with a title card reading "Africa" and segues into what appears to be an amateur comedic narrative made up of original scenes intercut with stock images of African animals and landscapes. End section includes people in fancy dress.
