Coney Island of the 1940's
Coney Island, "the place where merriment is king!"
Take a trip back in time 50 years before the Mermaid Parade.
See masses of old school New Yorkers beat the heat by hitting the beach.
See Side Shows! Carnies! Freaks! Thrill rides! Includes the original Coney Island Hot Dog, the Bathing Girl Review, and people getting sick on rides.
Not to mention the Tiger Rag, if 1940's Coney Island existed today an insurance agent would have a field day.
Still, 1940's Coney Island kicks the ass of most modern amusement parks any day.

Progressive Education in the 1940s
This video presents a positive view of progressive education although it begins with a parent complaining that children are not learning the fundamentals. Various educators are seen including famed John Dewey. One skeptic asserts that ideas similar to progressive education caused a collapse of the ancient Greek civilization. Current debates about educational techniques in many respects seem similar to what was occurring in the 1940s.

Compilation of Hibari Misora's songs-1940s
Hibari Misora recorded a total of 2 songs in the 1940s, both of them in 1949. They were;
1. 河童ブギウギ(Kappa Boogie Woogie)
2. 悲しき口笛(Kanashiki Kuchibue)
(Which translates to "Sad Whistle")
I've uploaded both of them here. Kappa Boogie Woogie is her debut song of what is going to be a total of over 1500 songs she will record in the next four decades until her death in 1989.
For those wondering what a Kappa is, it's a Japanese imaginary creature, green or yellow in colour, and translates to 'river child'. They resemble the looks of monkeys with tortoise shells on their backs. Young Hibari, 12 years old at the time, dressed up as one in the movie 'Odoru Ryugujyou' and sang this song.It is apparent that this song was not her favourite, as she later recalled in her interviews that dressing up like a Kappa was simply embarassing, and considers her next song, 'Kanashiki Kuchibue' to be her true debut song.
She recorded 'Kanashiki Kuchibue' a total of four times during her entire career. This version is the original.
Please rate, comment and enjoy!!

Gravity (Highlights) - 1940s
ThinkStream films simply thinks this film is just wrong on multiple dimensions. First off, there's this older dude who seems to have a highly suspect relationship with little boy Bob. He justifies it by saying that he knows Bob because he's an engineer and works in the same plant as his dad...." Hmmm... Well, anyway, he takes him to the "plant;" however, the "plant" old dude takes Bob to looks suspiciously like a house. Actually, it is a house. In no known universe is this place a "plant!" And of course, he just happens to have a rather large, framed portrait of Sir Issac Newton hanging on the wall! After getting over the initial shock, we here at ThinkStream films (especially Mr. Projector) think the folks at Coronet were having a bit of fun with this one, so we decided to have a bit of fun with it on the editing table. Enjoy!
Note: The following clip was taken directly from the original 16mm print and has been edited (with love and fun) to a fraction of the film's original length.
Bid on the complete, original 16mm print on eBay through 11/6/2006
