Fun then and now comparison here as several things are touched upon "then" (around 1908 or so) and "now" (late 1920's). The sound, music and title cards sound more modern then that though, but, what do I know. Some great scenes of churches, fire trucks, fashions, water boat races, speed races (with some awesome crash footage) trains, kings and who knows what else. Not bad.
