I Never Forget a Face

This Warner Bros. vignette features short snippets about well-known people. It includes presidential candidate Warren Harding and his front porch campaign in his home town of Marion, Ohio where Al Jolson sang to the crowd; his successor, Calvin Coolidge, being honored by Native Americans; William Jennings Bryan at the 1920 Democratic convention where FDR was selected as the Vice Presidential candidate; the visit of the Prince of Wales; the so-called Scopes “monkey trial” that pitted Clarence Darrow against Bryan; Richard Byrd as he trained for his flight over the North Pole; George Bernard Shaw on a visit to America; and finally Al Smith in his 1928 presidential campaign.
