A unique exploration of the dramatic social, political and cultural transformation of the Western world during the first half of the 20th century, bringing the period vibrantly to life for 21st century viewers through the exclusive use of British Pathé's evocative newsreel footage. Time to Remember captures the iconic and pivotal moments - as well as new and passing social trends - from 1896 through to 1945. Updated from the landmark 1960s series of the same name, these themed episodes feature the original narrative from celebrated actors Sir Michael Redgrave, Sir Ralph Richardson, Joyce Grenfell and Sir Anthony Quayle. In this episode, Newsreel footage and voiceover from the original 1950s Time to Remember documentary TV series tells the story of the media circus that surrounded notorious gangsters and other Depression-era criminals in the United States of America. This is encapsulated in the kidnapping of Charles and Anne Lindbergh's baby - the 'crime of the century'. Includes footage of rumrunners trying to outrun the US Coastguard and beat prohibition; mobster Jack 'Legs' Diamond; John Dillinger behind bars; Al Capone at the racecourse; and coverage from inside the courtroom during the Lindbergh baby murder trial of German illegal immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann.

(82)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Halsted Street is swamped with a strange fluid in these days of the Prohibition era. A surprise raid nets agents under Administrator A. E. Aman, 537 barrels of banned brew. The cache discovered, the dry sleuths waste little time in putting an end to the illicit liquid. Armed with mallets and pegs the Federal men jam in the bungs and flood the highway and gutters with $30,000 worth of amber brew, as the Windy City's parched gullets moan and wail.
TREACHEROUS WINDS CAUSE NEAR-FATALITY AT BOYS' GLIDER MEET

Tragedy is averted by the alert action of a rescue crew that sets out from shore, saving the endangered youth who is clinging to a wing of his crippled plane. Young Rowell had managed to stay in the air one hour and 15 minutes before the tricky cross wind sucks him out to sea. Twenty boys were entered in the contest in preparation for the International meet.

WORLD RECORDS FALL AS COLLEGE ACES VIE FOR OLYMPIC HONORS
(92)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Flashing championship calibre, Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University Negro flier; Jack Keller, Ohio State speed merchant; and George Saling, Iowa State track star, hang up new marks in feature events at the National Collegiate meet that assures them places on the U.S. team at the international games. Metcalfe equals Charley Paddock's 100-yard dash time and continues on to shatter the record in the 100-meter Olympic event. Matching steps with the cream of the country in the 220-dash, Metcalfe is forced to the limit to win, which he does by establishing another world mark. In the hurdle events, Keller and Saling leap and bound to sensational victory as they write new pages in track history.
262 WIN COMMISSIONS IN COLORFUL RITES AT ACADEMY GRADUATION
(85)
WEST POINT, N.Y. -- With studied dignity the solemn ceremonial projects brisk young cadets out of the Corps and into the Service. The grim Academy walls contrast the gayety of 1200 friends and relatives of the finishing class during the picturesque exercises. Returning from private life for a day, Major General James G. Harbord, retired, presents the first-classmen with their diplomas closing their days on the "Plains." The oath of allegiance is administered and the future generals discard the cold gray for the olive drab of U.S. Army officers.

SANDY HOOK, N. J. -- The first tactical exercise in a decade finds the 52nd Coast Artillery letter-perfect with the "big Berthas" of the first line of defense in a rigorous test of proficiency. Represented by a pyramid float eight miles out at sea the "fleet" presents an elusive target, but the 8 and 12 inch railroad monsters find the range and score direct hits, to save the city. Whistling out over the ocean the projectiles soar through a three-mile-high arch, demoralizing the invading armada in an amazing demonstration of defense proficiency.

NOTED DRY ADVOCATE DEFIES ROCKEFELLER ANTI-PROHIBITION JAB
(130)
True to its staunch, unvarying policy of strict neutrality and freedom from propaganda on all great issues, Universal Newsreel is happy to present John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Fred A. Victor, New York State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America, on the tense controversial question gripping the republic -- Prohibition. Reversing the stand he held for many years, the capitalist announces the withdrawal of his moral and financial support from the dry cause and suggests the immediate repeal of the 18th Amendment. The champion of liquor control argues that America's hope lies in retention of the dry law, and enforcement of the Constitutional provision. An unbiased presentation of the question that today overshadows the entire political battle-ground.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 81
SAILOR ADMITS GUILT IN MOONEY BOMBING; POLICE CHECK STORY
PORTLAND, Ore. -- In a belated but amazing confession, a north-west mountain guide, formerly a sailor, "confesses" to having borne the loaded suit-case which exploded during the Preparedness Parade in San Francisco in 1916, killing 10 persons and injuring 42 others. Paul M. Callicotte, now thirty-two and the father of a small child, volunteers the information to the police that he was paid $5 to transport the death-package from Oakland, and describes, by diagrams and by re-enacting his movements, just how the blast was planted. His story, if true, may have a bearing on the fate of Tom Mooney, now a life prisoner for the crime.
WORLD'S JEWRY HAIL NEW YEAR, 5693, WITH PRAYER AND RITUAL
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- American Jews unite with their brethren throughout the globe to observe the Rosh ha-Shanah holidays. Following the old Hebraic custom, the devout congregate by the thousands at the nearest running water and empty their pockets in token of a purging of the sins of the dying year. Youth seeks the counsel of the aged in the mysteries of the Talmud, and the Shofar -- the ram's horn of antiquity, -- sounds the call to a new season. Impressive ceremonies that have come unchanged down the ages.
FEDERALS DESTROY RECORD SEIZURE OF ILLEGAL BEVERAGE
NEWARK, N. J. -- With sledge-hammers and axes, Prohibition enforcement officers destroy 444 casks of liquor taken in a raid here almost two years ago and aged in a government warehouse pending a court decision making its destruction possible. 10,000 gallons of Rye whiskey are dumped into the sewer while on-lookers sigh and moan. Another stomach punch at John Barleycorn in Washington's eleventh hour battle to banish booze.
"OYSTER MONEY" ROUTS CITY'S CASH SHORTAGE AFTER BANK'S FAILURE
RAYMOND, Wash. -- Emergency script "coined" by the Chamber of Commerce bears the picture of a succulent bi-valve on its face, and takes its name from the shell currency used by local Indians years ago. In four denominations, Two Bits, Four Bits, One Buck and Five Bucks, the temporary bills are in great vogue, $10,000 worth being printed for residents whose funds are tied up in the town's only financial institution, now closed. Also, hundreds of dollars worth have been purchased by coin collectors and curio seekers in all parts of the globe. An unusual experiment in token-coinage that is stimulating prosperity in this section.
THE TIDE TURNS
Industry continues upward trend as renewed activity stimulates nation's business
PART X
CINCINNATI, O. -- Big overall factory puts 1250 employees on full time and speeds operation as the "back to work" movement causes an increasing call for working garments by the country's new job-holders.
MARINETTE, Wis. -- One of the leading U.S. paper companies puts its force on a three-shift, eight-hour, seven-days-a-week basis with 250 tons of finished paper goods a day as the goal.
SACRAMENTO, Cal. -- The demand for almonds has become so great that the co-operative exchange plant handling the grading, packing and shipping for 3000 Northern California farmers, expects the biggest season in many years. 700 workers have been placed on three 6-hour shifts to take care of the booming business.
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. -- The world's largest manufacturer of cleansing materials is enjoying the busiest period in 27 years, with 400 employees putting in full time, turning out 316,000 cans of cleanser a day.
LEAGUE COMMISSION FINDS AGAINST JAPAN IN FAR EAST CONFLICT
HARBIN, Manchuria -- Ultimate Chinese sovereignty over the Land of the Manchus is the answer, of the Inquiry Committee headed by the Earl of Lytton, to the Oriental question which has rocked the world for several months. The commissioners, representing Great Britain, America, France, Germany and Italy, spend many days here and elsewhere in Manchukuo, investigating the situation at first hand, before deciding upon a report and dispersing to their homes. Their trips to the major points of controversy in this war-torn country are carefully supervised by officers of the Japanese expeditionary force. A momentous event in the world's history.
YANKEES SLAUGHTER CUBS, 4 STRAIGHT, TO WIN WORLD'S SERIES
CHICAGO, Ill. -- The great pennant contest turns into a rout as the American League sluggers whale the pill all over the back yard of the National League hopefuls. With a grand total of 19 hits in nine short innings, tallying 13 runs, the base-running of the redoubtable New York ball-players becomes a parade. Five home-town hurlers go down, one after another, as Lazzeri, with two screaming wallops into the bleachers, and Combs, with one, as well as doubles by Gehrig, Sewell, Crosetti and Chapman ring up tallies and ring down the 1932 curtain for the Windy City fans. After a first inning flourish netting four runs, the North-side team fails to hold the pace. A round-house finish to the mighty championship struggle.
