| Description: | Royalty; Great Britain.Queen Alexandra Queen A. makes annual tour for "Rose Day". Shot of Alexandra; wife of the late King Edward VII; looking beautiful and much younger than an her age -- she must be at least in her 60s in this film. She's still quite the fashion plate; in a dramatic long dark cape with lighter long scarf and a hat with a jaunty feather. Shot of horse (one of a pair hooked to a coach) standing outside building. Alexandra and another woman come out; also a man; who turns and goes back in. Queen Alex. walks toward camera; and stands next to horse fondling its muzzle. She nods at camera. Man comes out and helps her take off her cape -- under it she is wearing a cool looking cross between a shawl and a jacket; made froma some shiny fabric; a big rose thing is fastened on the front at her breast; She nods again. | |
