Lynn Smith spoke by phone about the color home movies belonging to President Herbert Hoover and first lady Lou Hoover that Ms. Smith recently discovered in the collection of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum. The films show Herbert Hoover fishing in a boat and playing a game with a medicine ball on the White House lawn. Lou Hoover is seen walking in the White House Rose Garden and playing catch with the family dogs. The films were shot on an early form of color film and were donated by the Hoover’s grandson, Herbert “Pete” Hoover III, who is seen as a baby in these movies. close
