Albert Einstein Comes To America (1933)
George Bernard Shaw pays tribute to professor Albert Einstein at a dinner at the Savoy Hotel, London.
These are Steve Gelbart's family movies of when his father, Abe Gelbart, took them to Princeton in 1947 and met with many scientific luminaries.
In order of appearance:

And in the last second, Steve Gelbart along with his twin brother Bill, and their mother.
