Subject: For Sale: One (uncredited) celebrity.
This film is very similar to the "It Happened In Mayfair" types of films where local businesses are showcased. This film attempts to one up it by having "Celebrity" (check out her credits!) Kay Gordon come down and marvel at all that Oakland has to offer. She goes to the furrier, gets a free coat, gets free shoes from the shoe store, heck, she evens opens up a bank account! (why? Who knows). She also finds seeks out the "historic cutter "bear" and stops by to see the "world famous" ducks in Lake Merritt.
I should say that this film is horrendously in pieces. I do believe all the film is there, it's just that all the pieces are all jumbled up.
