Statues go up on the Tallinn Art Hall, 1937

Tallinna Kunstihoone saab fassaadikujud, 1937

The Tallinn Art Hall on Freedom Square opened in 1934, but its facade sculptures were only put in place on 29 April 1937. The opening scene of this four-minute newsreel shows them being fixed to the building. The rest of the reel stays in Tallinn: the Estonia ballet troupe coming home by ship after a successful tour of Finland, Polish aviators at Ülemiste airfield for the opening of LOT's Jerusalem–Tallinn–Helsinki air route on the same day, and Kalev beating Sport 2–1 in the first football match of the season.

Tallinna Kunstihoone Vabaduse väljakul avati 1934. aastal, kuid fassaadikujud paigaldati alles 29. aprillil 1937. Selle neljaminutise kroonika avastseen näitabki nende kinnitamist hoonele. Ülejäänud lint jääb Tallinna: Soomes menukalt esinenud Estonia balletirühm saabub laevaga koju, samal päeval võetakse Ülemiste lennuväljal vastu Poola lennundustegelasi LOT-i Jeruusalemma–Tallinna–Helsingi lennuliini avamisel ning hooaja esimeses jalgpallimatšis võidab Kalev Spordi 2:1.
