What a nice movie. Nothing happens, but you are on the street and everithing you see is antic and interesting, while you are listening to a good song and wonderful ukulele playing. Thanks Hein

This trip back in time is just so fascinating, I am almost entranced by it all. Excellent video, great music.

Very cool. Great footage, and Edwards was quite a story himself. Thanks for sharing this.

@BeareTube I just saw an article about this footage, and it turns out it was taken just a few days before the quake in April 1906. The article detailed a lot of the techniques and clues that led them to date the film. Very cool!

Great footage. I was wondering if it was cable or underground electrical pick-up.I'll have to head up to Frisco to see what Market Street looks like today. (Street View!) We also had cable cars in San Diego for a few years.

The camera is mounted on the front of one of SF's famous cable cars.

this video is San Fransisco, days before the great earthquake of 1906. much of what is seen was distorted.

This video is awesome! No transitions, not any doors in the trams ... People just cross the road safely. Vehicles drove slowly, where the hell are we rushing for? :-) Thanks for sharing! Anyone know the name of those songs btw?

Great post! What is the title of the last song Cliff Edwards sang. I found a song that is called, "Hang On To Me", but it has different lyrics. This song was sung on a old MGM promotional called, "Starlite Days at the Lido". Except for KZbin, I couldn't find a record of the song?

I will reply to my own question. I learned the song's title. It is "O! Honey, It's So Funny". Also, I found a Radio Recording CD sold on the Net that had the intro to this song. I haven't seen sheet music on for the song. I know Cliff Edwards's had put out many songs on sheet music and in music books that had his picture on it.
