These Doonhamers of Dumfries - the 'Queen of the South' - smile for the camera in this 'local topical' film

Non-Fiction 1910 4 mins Silent

Overview

These Doonhamers, as citizens of Dumfries are known, are set to be the next stars of the silver screen. Strategically placed at the exit of the Nith suspension bridge, the camera even captures the sandwich board advertising the screening where these pedestrians can come to see themselves projected at the Lyceum Theatre.
