Directed by: Jay Leyda

Synopsis: Fascinating silent film footage of the New York borough offers a time capsule of the Bronx as it was in the early 1930’s.

Reality Cats: Three cats are shown in back to back shots. The first is a tabby and white cat preening in a window.

The second is a black kitten eating something in a street gutter.

And finally a tuxedo cat runs quickly past the camera.

Final Mewsings: No look at a city is complete without acknowledging their cats.
