In 1924 California’s Tribune-American newspaper ran a competition for
its readers to write in with their most unusual dreams and the winning
entry was made into a short film.
This is Mrs L.L. Nicholson from
Oakland’s dream of losing her baby, rowing across San Francisco Bay,
picking up some fish, and eventually discovering her lost child in a
most unusual place and in trouble with the law. .............

What a great piece of history.
Great post, Tony. I don't know what I enjoyed more -- the movie or the music! And to think it was actually the contestant acting out her own dream.
I am currently "in talks " with Cronenberg............
How enjoyable, a cute short, with wonderful city/cars background from the times! Definitely enjoyable Sepian!
How very creative of you to find such a fun thing to post. Nice going!
I've had anxiety dreams like that! But sometimes they never really end but fade out leaving no resolution!
And I get so easily lost in the Prelinger Archives that I might need rescuing too!
"...... and, then, I woke up....and it was all a dream....!" :)
Marvelous! and Mrs. Nicholson played herself. In my dreams, Audrey Hepburn
plays me. The fish part is really funny. Was this a unique contest for the times?
The music was great!! I'm running out of adjectives — just a splendid post.
Yes Helen it's a brilliant movie! here is further info on the newspaper competition .
The husband's boating skills were on a par with his driving skills. Perhaps the baby would have been the better driver. How funny to write up your dream and get to act in it AND get $25!
I Know Kristin,the concept of being paid for your dreams is a good one!
