The cross-continent craze

The cross-continent craze

Vignettes depict transcontinental journeys by various modes of transportation. Circus performers tumble and roll their way across the country, a street railroad car from New York City arrives at the Rocky Mountains, a child travels in a pedal car with his nurse following by rail, a man golfs his way from coast to coast, members of a country club drink their way from roadhouse to roadhouse, waiters carry a tray of food from the mayor of New York City to the mayor of Seattle, an African American vaudeville couple dances across the continent, and two tramps hitch a ride on a railroad.
