What Happened on Twenty-Third Street, New York City
In front of one of the largest newspaper offices is a hot air shaft through which immense volumes of air are forced by a blower. Ladies in crossing this shaft often have their clothes slightly disarranged. A young lady and her male companion walk slowly along until they stand directly over the air shaft. The young lady's skirts are suddenly raised to an almost unreasonable height, greatly to her horror and much to the amusement of the newsboys, bootblacks and passersby.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its humor from a single, candid visual gag, relying entirely on the element of surprise and the genuine reactions of its subjects. It explores the very basics of cinematic comedy through a fixed, observational frame.
What lingers after viewing is a charming sense of cinema's playful origins, where laughter could be mined from the simplest of urban coincidences. — MovieFinder Editorial
