An early DW Griffith film
"The Revenue Man And The Girl" was released on 9/25/1911.
One of the players was a young Mabel Normand. It was filmed in the wilds of New Jersey!
Michael Shea's Hippodrome did not open until 1914. Afterwards, this theater at 263 Main St., was then known as the Little Hippodrome. It closed in 1962 and was razed shortly after.
Hippodrome Theatre
According to Wikipedia, Shea's Hippodrome theatre was opened in 1914 at 580 Main St.

"Make no little plans"
said Daniel Burnham, the architect of the magnificent Italian Renaissance Ellicott Square Building in the center of the picture.
Recently restored (except for the missing terracotta cornice and lion heads), at the time of this picture it had been relegated to only being the second largest office building in the world.
