Bliadhna 1925 - 77

A grand parade of locomotives to celebrate 100 years of railways and the world’s first passenger trains. In 1825 George Stephenson made and drove the first passenger locomotive. In 1925 the London and North Eastern Railway presented a historical parade and tableaux to illustrate the subsequent development of the railways. Debenhams of York were commissioned to record the proceedings, making this film record a candidate for one of the earliest films sponsored by a railway company. This version is complete with its original tints, meaning that for the first time in decades the film can be seen as Debenhams had originally intended.

Jeff sits next to the fireplace reading Cinderella. Mutt goes to the dance hall to show off his moves, leaving Jeff behind to tend to the fireplaces. Jeff cries because he wants to dance, too. A fairy godmother appears and transforms Jeff into a dapper gentleman. She gives him special shoes that allow him to out-dance anything. Before leaving, she warns Jeff that at midnight, all the magic will be undone. Jeff dances so well that Mutt becomes jealous, but it's Jeff's turn to feel embarrassed when he loses track of time and the clock strikes twelve.
