That is great! I love the humor of the "all mighty hand." The kid at the peanut cart was cute! Was living much more simple back then? Nice find Hunter. Been a long time for a great find like this one.

What always amazes me is that you can look into the face of a small kid and you know that by now that kid is most likely already dead. Always reminds me of how short our lives are.

Now that is funny because I was turning up my speakers to hear. DOH! NO sound for film yet!

What many people don't know is that there were colour movies before there were talkies.

I know that site, but could pin-point the method. I thought of kinemacolor or cinecolor!
