Of all the parades films made from early film, this was definitely the most interesting one. Temperance was a hot topic and children were encouraged to take the pledge against alcohol - resulting in a mass movement. In this parade, there are lots of children together with adults, and half the fun is to watch all the creative paroles and banners that are shown. The whole film, at BFI, is 7 minutes long and not 3 as most sources tell, so there is a lot to watch. The high point may be the children that carry a baby on a throne with the text "No beer in this child's home" or the "Buy bread instead of beer" banner. There is so much going on here that it's well worth a watch as preserved history.
