Ransohoff Retreats: Norco to Fair 1929-39

This Ransohoff Collection home movie spans two eras: We Week-end at Lake Norconian Club --- and Like It! February - 1929, a silent reel, captures the Norconian Resort in Norco, California, with women racing across a dance floor and a formal luncheon. The 1939–1940 Golden Gate International Exposition footage, possibly with sound, showcases San Francisco’s World’s Fair on Treasure Island. Handheld black-and-white shots sweep past fountains, mariachi dancers, and crowds at “Sally Rand’s Nude Ranch” (Dude altered to Nude), “LIFE” building’s risqué signs, and Ripley’s oddities. An airplane’s aerobatics and employee excursions highlight a decade of Ransohoff leisure.
