This is part of a collection of ephemeral films from the Treasures of American Archives. This DVD collection would definitely NOT appeal to the average viewer but to those interested in early films that were generally discarded but somehow have survived.
Elizabeth Woodman Wright was not a professional. Instead, she made a semi-professional looking home movie--with homemade intertitles to explain what was happening. It was shot in Maine and New Hampshire and shows aspects of rural life in New England that are wonderful time capsules. It's shot at a rather leisurely pace and shows the surrounding countryside, barns, farmers at work, the kids at play, and the like. None of it is particularly exciting to watch, but since it was a home movie and not intended as a commercial product, you can't really rate it. Instead, you just enjoy it as a look at bygone times--and a piece of Americana.
