What happens

Children in the Surf at Coney Island è un cortometraggio muto del 1904, girato da Billy Bitzer. Brevi filmati come questo, che ritraevano gruppi di bambini, furono da subito molto popolari, in Francia come negli Stati Uniti. I bambini (i cui nomi non sono accreditati) interpretano se stessi con molta naturalezza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
