    • Abstract:
      The article describes how Rosie Calinetti was seven or eight years old, lived on Mulberry Street near Canal, and went to the movies every chance she got. She was impressed with a newsreel of a queen being driven around her city, but had mistaken her for an actress, thinking all the pomp and circumstance were due to her great ability and reputation. Newsreels show a day on a farm, whales in the Pacific, a trip through upstate New York's Ausable Chasm, a visit to the president's summer camp.
