'Abdu'l-baha Greets Followers

I was floored to find these films of the Master on meet and greets -- obviously not in Baha'i hands... from historical stock footage. You can see Lua standing by in some of these, wearing the dress the Master himself designed. Enjoy it while it is still up... It does not appear to be the same film owned by the UHJ.
