[78-L] Bert Lown Hotel Biltmore Music - Hello Baby

[Michael Biel]

I think it is great to get the info on the anniversary weeks of the 
HoWs.  Keep them coming!

Tom Owen over on ARSC-List was the first to point out that the embedded 
YouTube film could not be from 1930 because of the George Washington 
Bridge.  I also pointed out the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings.  
The cars are ALL from the 1930s with possibly ten from the late 20s,  so 
a lot of time passed to get the 20s vintages off the road.  But the 
clincher is the marquee of the Lowes 47th Street showing Bachelor Mother 
and Saints of London which a YouTube commenter said were from 1939. 

Same thing as when we hear a song or recording that could not be from 
the time period is is claimed to be from.  As soon as I started looking 
at this I knew that it was not the early 30s, and had even put down 1939 
before I saw the identification of the movies.
