CFF Our Magazine No. 11 1955

Finally, something to learn about among the thrills and spills and laughs. Our Magazine was a regular item in children’s matinees in the 1950s. This is the eleventh edition, from 1955. As ever, it comprises four brief items. We see some German children hiking in the Black Forest, are told about road safety for cyclists, visit a toy museum and finally watch and listen to a team of schoolgirl bellringers performing “Greensleeves”. You wonder how much attention the audience would have paid to this while waiting for the main feature to start. The rather paternalistic voiceover is certainly from another age.
