[Genealib] "Smile" films from WWI era showing hometowns and locals

[Johnson, Jane]

I am looking for motion pictures of various hometowns taken in the WW I
era by a man named Kirshner, possibly from Chicago.  He apparently would
travel to various locations and make films of parades or just locals, to
be shown to the soldiers overseas.  I'm not sure if the titles of these
movies are actually "Smile."  If anybody has one or knows what happened
to these films, please let me know.  I am specifically looking for one
about Charlotte, taken in November 1918, but would be happy to hear if
others survived.

 

Thanks,
