Short film depicting New York's Broadway and Union Square that gives an insight of everyday life and traffic at that time.
A stationary camera captures the hustle and bustle of Manhattan on Broadway at Union Square in Greenwich Village. As streetcars pass with rapid regularity, two police officers make sure that pedestrians who are crossing the street do so safely. Horse-drawn carriages pass as well. The men wear hats and ties; the lads wear caps; the women are in long skirts.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
