00:00:00 Film begins with opening credits. 00:00:22 Film begins by showing the front page of “Litho Lens” an issue published by the National Association of Photo-Lithographers (NAPL). The paper provides information about the 27th Annual Convention and Exhibit of the NAPL. 00:00:23 Brief view of a photograph of Ira B. Current. 00:00:28 A man walks towards the stairs of a Trans World Airlines (TWA) plane on a tarmac. The plane takes off and there are several aerial views from the window and interior views of various flight attendants working. 00:01:20 View of the airplane landing at Missouri Air National Guard; 01:35 Exterior view of Hotel Muehlebach. 00:01:58 View of a sign directing people to the NAPL registration. Scene changes to an interior view of the NAPL convention. People talk around booths with poster boards on them. 00:02:43 Exterior view of an unidentified building and downtown area. 00:02:56 Close-up of a sign that reads “Missouri Pacific Lines.” The videographer captures scenes passing by outside the train as it travels night and day. 00:04:33 Exterior view of a church building and Rio Grande trains pulling up to a station. 00:05:50 Close-up of a sign that reads “Canon City.” There are shots of the city center and neighborhood homes in Canon City. The scene changes to show the daily life of Ira Current’s parents who live in Canon City. 00:07:40 Close-up of wooden post that reads “Pennsylvania Ave.” Ira’s parents are seen walking along a dirt hiking trail until they arrive at a graveyard with a sign that reads “Prison Burial Ground.” 00:11:33 Ira Current is now in Colorado Springs and shows a close-up view of the cross streets “Pikes Peak” and “32nd St.” Camera pans to a view of Pikes Peak in the distance, as well as neighborhood homes in the area. 00:13:20 Scene changes to show a destroyed building that looked like it caught fire. Ira Current’s mother also reads a plaque on a large rock that states “The people of Colorado have placed here this granite rock in recognition of the notable career of Zebulon Montgomery Pike soldier-explorer and in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of his historic expedition to the southwest.” Scenes continue to show buildings and landscapes throughout Colorado Springs. 00:16:32 A yellow cab pulls up in the snow. Scenes from the window are captured such as downtown and the William J. Palmer High School. They arrive to another family home for a gathering, possibly Ira’s sister’s house, Irma. Young girls show off a doll house made from cardboard boxes. The family eats together around a table. 00:22:21 Exterior view of a TWA plane as Ira Current makes his way back home. 00:23:10 “The End” appears on the screen. 00:23:19 End of recording.
