Great tour of Hialeah Park and Race Course in Hialeah, Florida. Opened on January 25, 1925, Hialeah Race Course was carved out of a barren, swampy parcel of land miles from downtown Miami. The track was the brainchild of Joseph Smoot, an investor and promoter and James Bright who owned the actual property.
This short subject film takes the viewer behind the scenes at Hialeah Park and shows activities after the horse race is run.
Often overlooked or neglected today, the one and two-reel short subjects were useful to the studios as important training grounds for new or burgeoning talents, both in front and behind the camera. The dynamics for creating a successful short subject was completely different from that of a feature length film, something like writing a top-notch short story rather than a novel. Economical to produce in terms of both budget and schedule and capable of portraying a wide range of material, short subjects were the perfect complement to the studios' feature films.
The visual and audio quality of this feature may be variable in parts due to the inconsistency of source material which reflects the technology of its era. Most short subject films were originally on 16mm or Super 8 film and then converted to video or dvd so there may be an inconsistency/clash when two technologies come together in the conversion process, which is understandably normal.
