Description
Daytime views of the Wrigley Building from Michigan Avenue, the Eugene Field Memorial ("The Dream Lady") and Carl von Linné Monument in Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, as well as Chicago's "L" trains and a route 3 streetcar.
The film ends with nighttime footage of the Lincoln Square neighborhood, including illuminated signs for Ben Tupler Co. and the Pershing Theater, which is showing the film Broken Laws (released November 9, 1924). The Pershing was built in 1918 and became the Davis Theater in the 1930s; the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, and remains as one of the few operating neighborhood movie theaters in Chicago at 4614 N. Lincoln Avenue.
