| Description: | GAZETTE “Sydenham. ‘Where Children Are Not ... Heaven is not’ Queen Mary opens National Children Adoption Association's Hostel.” Sydenham, London. Queen Mary (wife of George V of England) arrives to be greeted by various civic dignitaries. Her Majesty walks under a covered walkway past crowds to the orphanage. Various nice shots of children playing in nursery. Four children ride what appears to be a sort-of mini-carousel. Two sit astride a wooden horse. One child throws his toys out of his play pen, then seems upset because he can't get them. Various other shots of cute children, boys and girls. Shots of a group of nurses feeding babies with bottle. Queen Mary walks around the outside of the Children’s Hostel. | |
