The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895), was another film produced in 1895, but definitely wasn't shown in a motion picture theater setting, until 1896 or even 1897. This is an Edison film, that was used with his Kinetoscope machines initially. Edison was too wrapped up with his Kinetoscope films, that he didn't really get into the movie screen projection business until mid-1896 or 1897. This is why the Lumiere brothers and a couple of other filmmakers, beat Edison to the starting line of the film industry. It was quite clear by the year 1900, that a projected film image, in a theater setting, works better than standing in line for peepshow machines. The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895), is important though, because it is considered to be the first film, to use a special effect. It is the first use of stop-motion photography. It also is the first film to use hired actors. The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895), looks to be the only film Alfred Clark really did, but it was history-making.
