| Description: | "America. Another 'Street Scene' - but not acted! Our cameraman secures dramatic pictures - unequalled on any stage - as 'Rent Strikers' fight police during evictions in New York's 'Red' Quarter." United States of America. Crowds of people standing outside building. Some of them are holding banners. Low angle shot of women leaning out of windows of building. They are shouting and shaking their fists (nice shot). Pile of furniture on the pavement. An African-American man is carrying a piece of furniture and talking to a white man dressed in bowler hat, (derby hat) long coat and two tone shoes. Women shouting and crying from windows above. Mounted police are now at the edges of the crowd on the streets. They are moving in on their horses. A police officer arrests a man and pulls him to the police truck. Newsreel cameramen can be seen in the foreground. Shot of the front of the building in which the evictions are taking place. The furniture is piled up outside. Cameramen take pictures as police escort a man and woman from the scene. A police wagon arrives and the couple is helped inside. | |
