Take a look at this Saint John tourism video from the 1920's!

A few additional tidbits about the video:
It was shot in the summer of 1925. The Cenotaph in King's Square had just been dedicated (June 1925 wreaths still on cenotaph) and the Admiral Beatty Hotel just opened.
The man in the straw hat is Walter Golding, manager of the Imperial Theatre plus a member of the Saint John Tourist Association.
The film was first shown at the Imperial Theatre in 1926.
The original film was 15 minutes long, but only 7 minutes of the film could be restored.
The original film was silent. The music was added by EH Wright.

A big thanks to EH Wright for this historic gem both the video and the background info! #SaintAwesome
