About this Item
Title
- Coney Island at night
Summary
- Shows concessions at Thompson and Dundy's Luna Park and Dreamland on Coney Island. Taken at night by the light of the concessions themselves. Shows both close-up and distance shots, elevated and at street level. The titles of the film could have been photographed on the spot, however, they seem to have been contrived for this film by the use of stop-action photography.
