Moody filmed historic South Australian events, occasions and attractions between 1929-1950, and raised funds for charity through public film screenings.
Here we see beach life at Glenelg in the early 1930s.
Firstly, scenes from the foreshore taken in 1931. Moody captures a large array of beachgoers and then takes in views of the buildings and streetscapes of Jetty Road and the Esplanade as well as shots of Luna Park.
This is followed by footage of a surf life-saving competition in 1932.
Created by Percival Moody 1931-32.
