    3. I believe the film is from the collection of the Library of Congress. If you go to YouTube and search on 1905 San Francisco you will find many variations; the lengths are stated on the thumbnails. Some are better quality than others. cheers, Gard English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar. —Unknown > > This film was "lost" for many years.
