Possibly shot in Pueblo, Colorado (or possibly in Wyoming?) in 1935, this fascinating short home movie contains three important men of the era: Frank Hawks, General Pershing and President Herbert Hoover. The film starts with a 1935 title card and then footage of General John J. Pershing at what appears to be a road house or gas station (0:14). The car he's in appears to be a Chevrolet, based on the eagle hood ornament. Pershing speaks to various people, before getting back into the car and heading out on the highway (1:53). At (2:25) are images of the main street of a small western town, location unknown, followed by some shots of an unknown family. At (3:06), a Navy Boeing F4B-4 biplane flown by pilot Frank Hawks is shown taxing towards camera. At (3:30) Frank Hawks shakes hands with well wishers in front of the Western Air Express hangar. At (4:28) an unidentified man walks towards camera. At (4:35) a man, probably a veteran and a member of the American Legion based on his distinctive hat, poses with a mule that wears a "Denver Mile High" banner. At (5:06) what appears to be Gen. Pershing emerging from a building, surrounded by veterans and/or legionnaires. At (5:15) a train is shown with President Herbert Hoover making a whistle stop tour.

Frank Monroe Hawks was a pilot in the United States Army Air Service during World War I and was known during the 1920s and 1930s as a record breaking aviator, using a series of Texaco-sponsored aircraft, setting 214 point-to-point records in the United States and Europe. After retiring from a career as an air racer, he died in 1938, flying an experimental aircraft.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
