The Kiddies’ Motor Wheel! (1927)

C/U of a small child - probably 3 or 4 years old. The child holds onto a wheel and smiles at the camera. M/S of the child sitting on a very strange contraption which is a special motorised vehicle for children. It looks like a tiny motorbike with a very large wheel around it. Bizarre. M/S of the child driving along with a man running along beside her. It goes pretty fast and looks quite dangerous. The kid drives through some horse manure left on the road! The adult manages to avoid it. This is cute stuff! The kid keeps his cool throughout! Was item in Eve’s Film Review issue 324. Note: Flash frame intertitles. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
