Help Needy, Says First Lady (film #1 on Universal Newsreels). [Category: Public Service]

Newsreel clip of Eleanor Roosevelt speaking to the National Federation of Women’s Clubs, urging women (read: wealthy women) to do charitable work to help the poor during the Depression. This has some historical value, but it’s creaky as all get-out.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: **.
