This film is priceless! The RMS Titanic sank within a year of this film being made and fits in perfectly with the book From Time To Time by Jack Finney (however, you might want to read his Time and Again first). Most all the men in this film were wearing suits and "boater" style straw hats. I feel that the straw hats signified summertime. Also note that all the women wore hats and long sleeves. Getting a suntan wasn't fashionable back then. The triangular "Flat Iron" building (2:53) was only 9 years old when this film was made. Interesting to watch how everyone managed to wend their way thru traffic with trolleys, horse drawn wagons, motor cars and pedestrians. Thanks so much for posting.
