Fox News interviews Ex-President Coolidge
Among the many fascinating (and downright entertaining) film reels archived in the Moving Image Research Collections housed by the University of South Carolina there is this three-minute segment featuring Calvin and Grace Coolidge seven months after leaving the White House, October 21, 1929. Their three dogs — Beans the Boston terrier, Beauty the white collie and Tiny Tim the chow — feature prominently in the short movie as does long-time friend and neighbor, Mrs. R. B. Hills. The University’s holdings are well worth viewing!
PRICELESS Footage!!! Both chows Blackberry and Tiny Tim are featured here. I have a chow history archive and it is certain the Coolidges did an amazing amount for the early promotion of our breed…. whether intended or not. I have become fascinated with the couple and their lives through my research of their dogs.
