Here are the contents
of each of the films in the Mardi Gras film collection:
New Orleans Carnival Week, February 22, 1941
  
This is the Parade of Krewe of Nor (children) at the 1941
Mardi Gras. It shows all the colorful costumes people wore
during the event, a large number of colorful and elegant floats,
parade entertainments and bead throwing (which was much more
subdued in that era than it is in modern times.) The footage
is quite good and is truly a special glimpse into the past
of Mardi Gras.
Audio/Visual: silent, color
Run time: 9:25

Parade of Krewe of Rex, New Orleans, February 25, 1941
  
This is the Parade of Krewe of Rex on Fat Tuesday at the
1941 Mardi Gras. One of the nice features you will pick up
from watching this film is the level of participation from
the audience. They are quite actively involved in the celebrations,
not observers at the sideline as is common today.
Audio/Visual: Si, Color
Run time: 9:30
