Comment: "Silent" Calvin Coolidge Inaugural Pageantry, 1925.

President Coolidge's Inauguration (1925) 10 minutes.

Calvin Coolidge treated to a splendid inaugural day. Captioned Newsreel includes marching brass bands, pageantry, pomp & ceremony. Herds of horses... A few herds of horseless carriages.... A truly marvelous grand parade. No speaking parts.
