Great historical film!

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 1906 and shipped by train to NY
for processing. Amazing, but true!
