1906- four days before the earthquake.

Interesting glimpse into the past! However, the record accompanying this 1906 film is Billy Murray's Edison diamond disc entitled My croony melody--recorded a full eight years later in 1914.

Kind of eerie, actually. Too bad the transfer is posted in such low resolution.

There are better quality copies of this same video on the 'tube, but they don't have Murray as the soundtrack.

Rocky - you are such a stickler for accuracy! In my book, whether it's 98 years or 106 years, I'd call it all: kinda-sorta a hunnert!

Murray makes a nice backdrop and a fascinating glimpse into a time long gone.

This copy of the film is better quality and also has an interesting soundtrack.
