Title: “Patsy’s 7th Birthday” (hand-written card) Clay-court tennis. A crudely hand-painted sign reads "Fair Grounds / Beware of Pickpockets / No Spitting” Group gathering, adults at leisure in Adirondack chairs, playing a ring toss game on a badminton court. Children play croquet. Two men pose with a cardboard cutout of a woman in a bathing suit; they pretend to serve her drinks and kiss her. More lawn games. Cut to Plymouth Rock Monument. Men in pilgrim costume are seen sitting on a wall nearby. Boats on water seen from shore, followed by scenes taken from a boat. Cut to children in suits and dresses hunting for Easter eggs on the lawn. Cut to a large, wood-shingled beachfront house, Provincetown. Scenes include the Pilgrim Monument and views from the tower of Provincetown below. Cut to shots taken from a boat, passing the Stone Horse lightship.
