THIS IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE! NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS, NO RULES.
This is a fascinating movie. A camera was mounted on the
front of a street car in San Francisco 104 years ago
(1906). Perhaps the oldest "home movie" that you will
ever see! I watched it a couple of times. Look at the
hats the ladies were wearing and the long dresses. Some
of the cars had the steering wheels on the right side. I
wonder when they standardized on the left? Sure were
still a lot of horse drawn vehicles in use. Mass
transit looked like the way to get around. Looks like
everybody had the right of way.
Watch the beginning carefully. At the 33 second mark and
immediately after an oncoming trolley clears the screen, a
well dressed policeman walks across the street from left
to right. Notice his right hand that he's carrying a
truncheon (26 inch police baton) and although he appears
walking his beat, he looks ready to use it. Imagine the
police of today walking down the street carrying a 26 inch
club in their hand...???
This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first
35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the
front of a cable car. The number of automobiles is
staggering for 1906. The clock tower at the end of Market
Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there.
How many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up
after the horses? Talk about going green!
This film was 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.
