Sign for the movie "Sunnyside Up" around 1:18 ( and again later, maybe they doubled back with the camera). Very cute movie from 1929; I actually watched it on TH-cam about a month ago. I recommend it if you like late 1920s movies.
the stock crash was in october of 1929, these people walking looking busy, ..... probably wasnt , just walking , and thinking just standing around, thinking
At the time this video was recorded, most people believed that the economic downturn was just a bad recession, and they thought the economy would recover quickly. They felt vindicated by the fact that the stock market actually went *up* between mid-November 1929 and mid-April 1930. Not until a series of massive bank failures in the winter of 1930-31 did Americans start to realize that this wasn't a recession, but a full-on depression. That was when it became painfully clear that the economy would not make a quick recovery.
There's a truck parked in front that says Hearst Metrotone News. Maybe it's the entrance to their studio and offices. The people walking inside are going pretty briskly as if going to work.
Why do you limit it to the 1920s? Have you never seen old movies? Is there any law now about everyone dressing as slobs and overgrown manboys with dopey superheroes on their t-shirts? If there was ever a time that shouldn't be making fun of other time periods, it's right now.

MOXIE on Broadway!
Notice how many of the men are wearing long overcoats, hats and ties. Amazing.

Fantastic, thanks so much for posting this.
At the 0:50 mark, see the theater that is showing Gold Diggers of Broadway - a ‘lost’ film that today only exists in fragments!
we'll never know what those people saw.
Very interesting
*At least TH-cam has some material here on the subject.*
I love sound Ahooga horns

Was there a law in the 1920’s that everyone had to wear hats?

What happened to all or most of those people!?
probably served in ww2 or got hit bad by the great depression or just dodged both situations and lived their lives
dead I would think
Being adults they're almost certainly dead
Earrape audio.
Go to sleep. Let the adults talk.
It's a video that's over 90 years old.
Were you really expecting the audio quality to be the same as most videos today?
