0633 Tribune American Dream Picture (silent, 1924)
The Tribune-American Dream Picture is a surreal black-and-white film from 1924 sponsored by the American Theatre and the Oakland Tribune. The film was created as part of a competition awarding a prize for the most unusual dream scenario made into a photoplay. The winning entry, submitted by Mrs. L.L. Nicholson of Oakland, depicts a mother losing her baby and embarking on a frantic, dreamlike journey in a rowboat to the Ferry Building, where she ultimately finds her child. The film captures themes of surrealism and emotional tension, set against the backdrop of Oakland, California.
