This video is a series of newsreels about tornadoes from the 50s & 60s. Namely tornadoes in Waco, Flint, Cleveland, & Worcester (all 1953). The Palm Sunday outbreak (1965). Kansas City (1957), El Dorado, KS (1958) & southern Minnesota (1965). First is the Waco, Texas tornado of May 11, 1953. The huge numbers of bricks in the newsreel were due to the collapse of downtown buildings, especially a six-story furniture store. San Angelo was mentioned but scenes from that city probably weren't included. Thirteen people were killed at San Angelo, 159 were injured, and about 120 homes were damaged or destroyed. Credit: National Archives, ripped from The Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next are newsreels about a another tornado outbreak in 1953 on June 8th & 9th showing damage from Flint, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio & Worcester, Massachusetts. The Flint tornado moved ENE & E from 2M N of Flushing, devastating the north part of Flint, ending 2M N of Lapeer. The tornado virtually obliterated all homes on both sides of the Coldwater Road for about a mile. It was there that the damage swath was over a mile wide, and most of the deaths occurred. There were multiple deaths in over 20 families. The Flint tornado was the last single tornado in the United States to directly cause 100 deaths. The Worcester tornado touched down in the town of Petersham, near the NE shore of the Quabbin Reservoir. The funnel rapidly intensified and moved to the SE at about 35 MPH through Barre (2 dead), Rutland (2 dead), Holden (6 dead), the north part of Worcester (59 dead), Shrewsbury (12 dead), Westborough (6 dead) and Southborough (3 dead). The funnel turned to the NE for the last few miles. Many of the houses that were nearly leveled were two or three story tenement buildings, built with dozens of interior walls which would add considerable structural strength. About 4,000 buildings were either damaged or destroyed, hundreds of cars were tossed, and thousands of trees were splintered. Newsreel Credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next is The Palm Sunday of April 11, 1965 which changed the course of tornado research and resulted in changes in the design of the Weather Bureau tornado preparedness program. With 19 violent tornadoes, this and the super outbreak of 1974 with 30 stand alone as the two most violent in history. The odd damage patterns in the Palm Sunday tornadoes gave Professor Fujita strong evidence for his suction spot concept. The first half of the film (behind the narration) is damage at Crystal Lake, IL, where 6 people died. Film Credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next is footage of the damage on the south side of Kansas City, MO from May 20, 1957. It moved from 2 SW of Williamsburg, KS to 2 NE of Knobtown. MO. In Kansas, the funnel passed 2 S of Ottawa, 5 S of Wellsville, and along the north edge of Spring Hill. It crossed into Missouri about 13 S of downtown Kansas City. In Kansas, 7 people were killed and 31 injured, with many homes leveled and numerous reports of multiple vortices. 2 deaths occurred as a farm was leveled norht of Rantoul. 5 deaths occurred at Spring Hill, 4 in one family who were attempting to flee in a car. A possible break in the path occurred south of Wellsville, Kansas but the last 50 miles of path were unbroken. In Missouri, the tornado produced 37 deaths and at least 500 injuries as it passed through and devastated Kansas City suburbs. Ripped apart were the south side of Martin City and large parts of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Hills. About 842 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". Next is damage at El Dorado, KS from June 10, 1958. The tornado moved 7 WNW of El Dorado , passing through and destroying a section of newer homes in the SW part of town. About 200 homes were destroyed as a 45-block area was torn apart. A car was thrown 100 yards in the air, crashing through a roof of a house. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". Next is damage at Chicago on March 4, 1961. The funnel passed about 10 blocks from Prof. Fujita's office, at the city's university. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". On May 6, 1965 at least six major tornadoes, four of them killers, hit soutwest, west, & northwest of the Twin Cities, killing 14 people. The NWS reported 24 hook echos on radar. The town of Fridley was hit by three separate tornadoes and had $14 M in damage (over a third to the school system) as 1,500 homes were damaged or destroyed. Six people died in homes at Mounds View as 46 homes were destroyed. Total losses for all tornadoes were $51 M.

Booby Traps Banned Army Cartoon This is a banned cartoon from the 1940's. It stars Private Snafu (voiced by Mel Blanc), the bumbling soldier that the US Army used for military films. Yes, this was made by the US Government to help train the military. For those wondering why this was banned, back then the word "hell" was a big no no. Since it was made for adults in the military, it was concidered alright for showing on bases. Several volumes of banned and censored cartoons are available at HoughsVideos.50Megs.Com. They are located on the Documentaries page.

The May-Irwin Kiss (Edison, 1896) The May Irwin Kiss - also known as The May Irwin-John C. Rice Kiss or The John C. Rice-May Irwin Kiss, lasts just a few seconds and was directed by William Heise. An amorous moment from the Broadway play The Widow Jones is shared by actors John C. Rice and May Irwin. In 1896 the Edison Company purchased the rights to a motion picture projector that had been invented by C. Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat. The projector was renamed the "Vitascope" and had its commercial debut on 23 April 1896. During its first year the most popular film shown using the "Edison" vitascope was the "May Irwin Kiss." May Irwin (1862--1938) was a Canadian actor, comedienne and singer. Her first starring role on Broadway came in 1895 in a musical comedy created for her by J.J. McNally, called "The Widow Jones". In one key scene at the end of the play, Irwin and her co--star, John C. Rice, kiss each other with something of a flourish. Many were scandalized when they recreated their stage kiss for Edison's camera the following year, and one clergy member denounced the film as "a lyric of the stockyards". Critic Herbert Stone complained, " . . . neither participant is physically attractive and the spectacle of their prolonged pasturing on each other's lips was hard to beat when only life size. Magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over is absolutely disgusting!" Despite, or perhaps because of these derisive reviews, the "May Irwin Kiss" became the most popular film produced that year by Thomas Edison's film company. May Irwin went on to star in many other plays and became one of the most well--loved comediennes of her time. Happily married and the mother of two sons, she performed on Broadway until 1922. She managed her money well, and when she finally retired to the island she owned on the St. Lawrence river she had become a millionaire.

Considered THE archetypal sensationalized anti-drug movie, but it's really an exploitation film made to capitalize on the hot taboo subject of marijuana use. Like many exploitation films of the time, "Reefer Madness" tried to make a quick buck off of a forbidden subject while skirting the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930. The Code forbade the portrayal of immoral acts like drug use. (The illegal drug traffic must not be portrayed in such a way as to stimulate curiosity concerning the use of, or traffic in, such drugs; nor shall scenes be approved which show the use of illegal drugs, or their effects, in detail.) The film toured around the country for many years - often being re-edited and re-titled ("Tell Your Children", "Dope Addict", "Doped Youth", "Love Madness", "The Burning Question"). It was re-discovered in the early 1970s by NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and screened again as an example of the government's demonization of marijuana. NORML may have been confused about the film's sponsorship since one of the film's distributors, Dwain Esper, testified to the Arizona Supreme Court that "Reefer Madness" was not a trashy exploitation film but was actually sponsored by the U.S. Government - a convincing lie, but a lie nonetheless. That being said, the film is still quick enjoyable since it dramatizes the "violent narcotic's ... soul destroying" effects on unwary teens, and their hedonistic exploits enroute to the bottom. Director: Louis J. Gasnier Producer: George A. Hirliman Production Company: G and H Production. Audio/Visual: sound, b&w
