Bouncing Baby: A 1916 Silent Short Filmed in Jacksonville

I ran across this earlier this morning and wanted to share it. It's fascinating! It includes a car chase scene down Forsyth.

Thanks Edward, we had this up several years ago but I'm sure that many people haven't seen it. I'd love to digitize it and isolate the streetcar views out of it, slow them down, and add them to similar streetcar scenes in a Confederate Veterans parade on Main Street. Done right, with as many films that were shot here, we could perhaps get a 10 minute video of the Jacksonville Traction Company. Did you know we have the only fully intact silent film studio lot in the USA? TRUE.
