It was the first 35mm film ever. This film was "lost" for many years.
This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot.
From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!)..
It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906and shipped by train to NY for processing.Amazing, but true!

Watch the scampering as Joe Public race away from autos, horses, cable cars and bicycles. Apparently there were no traffic laws...Everybody just goes where they want...
