I found this by coincidence at archive.org. There are 21 movies, and this reel 10 is one of the few ones in color and with 15 minutes longer than most of the others. And it's interesting showing private vintage scenes.
But the image quality is extremely poor. It's most of the time out of foucus, I think it had not been not professionally digitized.

Not Public Domain but Creative Commons license CC-By-NC-ND. British Stanley Zoobris (1907-1964) filmed it. Contact info at archive.org states Kurt Kaufman.

There are some other good color movies at archive.org mostly tagged educational like "Bicycle Clown (1958) with US boys in jeans but that doesn't belong in this blog.
