Old Southern Schottische

About this film

Henry Ford was very fond of square-dancing, and he encouraged or forced his family and many times his employees to enjoy it as well. He hated Jazz and felt that is was the result of the lessoning of morals and the destruction of society. Thomas Edison did not agree totally with him, but when Henry Ford sent his old time band to the studio, Edison had them recorded. This cylinder is one of these records from the mid 1920's
