@saschneider. Thank you very much for sharing your family treasures with the You Tube community. It's like going back in time. Though this from way before I was born I can appreciate how your great grands were enjoying their day. I makes you think, how many thousands of people stood at Buckingham Fountain and had their pictures taken since this fim was made? Some things are universal. No matter what race, color ore creed you are, you always enjoy Buckingham Fountain. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic! I live in the city and am very interested in Chicago's history, and past eras and "lost Chicago". Thank you for posting. Was this your family?
The movie and nightclub marquees date this (at least the night scenes) to late October 1943. The Eitel's building is still there (minus the neon signage)-just east of the Oriental, the facade was restored a few years ago.
@alysiamonet thats sad! becoz i see them 2 beautiful little girls plying.. n will very soon realise .. wat hate is, if nt already seen it n heard it 2wards ther mother or father
@MrMabloz In my opinion, life hasn't changed much. You people will never know how life was back then by watching video's. Some of the most vicious crimes occurred back then. Black Dahlia for example, so stop judging how life was back then, by watching videos.
@hellomikie92 vicious crimes is still happening now.. leaders AMERICA = kill more and label them whatever we want through the media and fool the public into it
Incredible piece of history! Thank you for sharing it!
