From 0:15 to 0:31, there's a view of "Bowery Street", looking eastward, filmed from "Steeplechase Park". Luckily, the "Alamo" cabaret, the sign of which is clearly visible, determines the time frame this film was shot as summer 1918. This venue, at Bowery & Oceanic Walk, Coney Island, was named the "College Inn" during 1907 - 1915, then the "College Arms" 1916 - 1917, then the "Alamo" during 1918, then again the "College Arms" 1919 - 1923.
So cool and fun!!!

my grandmother was born around 1923 I think so she would've been an infant baby around the time of this video. Interesting.
