Great stuff! Too bad the sound quality is so awful — must have been very new / immature technology. They improved very quickly to the Movietone newsreels.
Lots of fascinating things:
* Everybody is looking at the camera rig. Obviously, few had seen anything like that before. I wonder what it looked like.
* Lots of wealth. That changed 18 months later with the stock market crash and depression.
* The sheer number of the man-pushed cabs is amazing. I had no idea those things existed on the boardwalk.
* A few kids mugging for the camera - hand gestures, sticking tongues out. Some things don’t change.
* Everybody is so well dressed. Fur coats. No piercings (except ears). No facial tattoos.
* Some horses on the beach. Looks like one is pulling a sulky.
* The streets are so clean. No litter, no graffiti.
Probably something very much like this.
