Dwight and CHM company, Russ and Colorlab company, Martha -- All of you all can put in here anything you like related to the new Wallace Kelly film preservations.
See some of the other subpages for examples. Of course, you can also do nothing and my team and I will take care of this. Wallace Kelly Goes to New York This reel from 1929 or 1930 is possibly the first film shot by Wallace Kelly (1910-1988) and documents his train trip from Kentucky to Cincinnati to New York City, with scenes of Times Square at night, the Statute of Liberty, elevated trains and city streets, and a family outing with Percy Johnson, the president of Chemical Bank. Kelly, a newspaperman from Lebanon, Kentucky, was also an accomplished photographer, painter, and writer. He began shooting film in 1929 and continued until the 1950s. His film Our Day was named to the National Film Registry in 2007. Family Trip West (1939) Reel #4 from Wallace Kelly's trip through the Western United States. These reels were preserved by the Center for Home Movies with funds from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Lisa McElroy (aka captiveww) posted this music video remix on YouTube, Feb. 2010.
The group Bedhead recorded the song, "Bedside Table," on their 1993 album What Fun Life Was.
