One Armed Man Making Bird Houses (1927)

No title. “Down in Larksburg - - theres a one-armed bird building bird houses - -“ L/S of a man carefully placing a model house on a work bench in the open air. Another man works beside him. He turns around and we see that he has only one arm. He picks up a saw then holding the house steady with the stump of his right arm, he uses the saw with his left. Note: this is almost certainly an extract from the Walter Futter film “Back Home“ or one of his other “Curiosities.“ FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
