Trip to Yesterday (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1962)

Description

The original release sheet reads: TRIP TO YESTERDAY: RAILROAD BUFFS VISIT OLD FRONTIER Your passport to yesterday is a ticket on one of the North American continent's most fascinating railroads. Passengers arrive by boat at Skagway to take a railroad excursion over the "Trail of '98" to the famous goldfields at Whitehorse. DUTCH COMMEMORATE BALLOON ANNIVERSARY Five balloons take off in the Netherlands to mark the Golden Anniversary of the first such flight in Holland. They follow the same rules that governed that Contest in 1912. THIS IS ART! (or) IS THIS ART!!! A fugitive artist in Paris strips fences and walls of political and theatrical posters to make masterpieces of college that he hopes will take the art world by storm. FASHION PARADE Italian stylists are hopeful of making the fur bonnet more of a glamorous companion piece to the traditional coat. They've gotten off to a flying start. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Piles of scrap headed for Japan - scrap that became shells in World War Two. There was a recession and the stock market went into a dive. President Roosevelt, on a political tour, took time out to visit Yellowstone National Park. The newly-wed Duke and Duchess of Windsor were followed by crowds as they visit Paris. Vittorio Mussolini, son of the dictator, cut his visit to the U.S., short when he found himself unwelcomed. A man invented a machine to kick yourself in the pants - something everybody got a boot out of.
