- The leader of a marching band demonstrates an unusual way of writing music.
- This funny individual will make you laugh until your sides ache. He is funny in all his actions, yet when he puts on his shoes you can imagine the noise he can make when he dances an ordinary clog. The shoes referred to are made of some elastic material which enables Little Tich to bow almost to the floor without bending his legs, the spring in the shoes carrying him down and up again. He places his hat on the floor and, leaning over on the toes of his wonderful shoes, dips his head into the hat and comes up without having to move from the spot or to bend his legs. He is a comical looking sight at best, being made up to suit the part, and he will make you laugh whether you want to or not.
- When this picture opens, you see a large book mounted on an easel. An old student is seen poring over old manuscripts when he advances toward the book, and by the aid of some mysterious power he causes an old man, a clown and a pretty girl to emerge therefrom, turning the page each time and taking a different person from the page in view. Each tries to make love to the maiden, when they are immediately returned to the place from whence they came. Marvelously mystical.
- One of the most perilous performances in a circus ring is bareback riding, but you have to see this one to admit that the act is the most daring that has ever been attempted, in fact this is the only performer in the world who has ever accomplished the feat. We refer to Oscar Lowande, who turns a complete somersault from one horse to another running tandem. This artist is the champion of all fancy and trick riders.
- Showing Pygmalion at work in his studio on the statue of Galatea, who, on being completed, comes to life. He attempts to clasp her to his arms, when the bust leaves the body and crossing the room mocks at him standing with the lower portion of her body in his hands. Further startling illusions are seen in this most beautiful picture.
- Reenactment of an event from the Chinese Boxer Rebellion.
- Here is another laugh producer. A maid is sent to a neighboring town by her mistress and takes the baby with her for company. A traveler, who occupies the same compartment on the train, insists on making love to the maid who appears to resent it. Learning that they would soon reach a long tunnel, she presumes that the fellow will attempt to kiss her and she prepares herself accordingly by partially undressing the baby and when the train emerges from the tunnel he sees, much to his disgust, that he has kissed the baby on that part which was made for it to sit on. Exceedingly funny.
- Silas Hayseed arrives in town and proceeds to put up a hotel noted for its 'tables,' which are all made of hard wood. The country yokel is shown to his room and divests himself of his best Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes. His little bunch of whiskers that adorn his chin seem to be as proud of him as his Melindy Jane, whom he left in Grassville, back over yonder. He is finally undressed and tumbles into bed, resolving meanwhile to dream of the good prices he will realize in his produce. While pondering over matters, he looks around and discovers a Ghost standing in the middle of the room. Silas becomes scared, begosh, and leaping out on the floor begs the Ghost to do him no harm. The Ghost suddenly vanishes and the Hayseed is about to jump into bed again when Satan appears from under the sheets and scares him to such an extent that he is willing to promise him even a box of fresh rooster eggs if he will only go away. But his Satanic Majesty says 'nit,' and he is almost frantic. After causing much excitement our poor unfortunate Silas is hustled out in the street, but we are not informed whether he gets his money back or not. This film will cause tears to flow with laughter."
- In a corner of the garden we see an ornamental fountain. An old professor comes along, looking for a nice spot where he can teach his pupils. Finding the fountain to his liking he goes after his scholars. A mysterious person who has noticed the old man, by means of a balloon, a handkerchief and a coat, constructs a peculiar figure, doing a lot of tricks at the same time. The professor returns with his class and all prepare for work, when, at the sign of the juggler, the statue comes to life, makes fun of the professor and finally is transformed into a fountain surmounted by a dolphin, throwing up streams of water. The unlucky professor loses his balance, tumbles into the water and gets a shower bath while the pupils sketch the scene. A most laughable subject.
- Two guards bring a sorcerer into the hall of a palace of the time of the Middle Ages. The king who follows them orders the sorcerer to be chained and to be condemned to death for his practice of witchcraft. He begs the king to permit him just one hour of liberty, assuring the king that he will create, thanks to his power, a charming woman, worthy of becoming the king's consort. The king, after a moment of hesitation, agrees. The sorcerer asks the king to remove the guards. The king commands them to retire, but not to go far away so as to be within easy call. The sorcerer evokes a spirit. A demon emerges from the floor, and at the command of the sorcerer goes and finds a palanquin, which is brought in by beautiful pages. In this palanquin which the sorcerer shows, at first, to be empty, three lovely Greek goddesses slowly appear. The king is charmed, but he remarks to the sorcerer that the Greek costumes do not please him. But they are quickly transformed, under the spell of the magician, into rich court dresses. The lady in the middle becomes a haughty queen, the two others are changed to ladies in waiting. The king takes the hand of the queen and escorts her, followed by her two attendants, to a seat beside his throne. The pages remove the palanquin. The king asks the magician to amuse the company by some of his wonderful tricks. So the magician takes a chair which he makes waltz about the hall. Then he throws it into the air, where the chair is transformed into a royal clown who performs some feats of dislocation. He ends his performance by a perilous leap and falls back to the floor in the original form of the chair, makes a saucy face at the king and disappears turning somersaults. The king rushes down to the chair in astonishment. The chair disappears and at the same time the magician reappears upon the royal throne. The king in a rage summons the guards and orders them to arrest the magician. The latter throws down the guards, transforms them to demons, whom he orders to arrest and chain the king. Then, putting on the royal crown, the sorcerer goes out dancing with the queen and her attendants, who are no other than diabolical personages, while the king, because he was too credulous, remains chained to the spot -- a condition in which he wished to place the sorcerer at the beginning.
- In which is seen all that usually transpires on the stage. Property men are setting scenery and continually collide with an old sport who is there to pay court to his favorite ballet dancer. The sport resents the treatment he receives, and they play a hose on him, drenching him to the skin.
- This beautiful subject, so dear to the life of every American man, woman and child, will create enthusiasm unbounded and an encore will positively result from the exhibition thereof. The picture is made in 10 scenes, showing the Fireman's dream, the view of sleeping quarters of the brave fire laddies, the interior of the engine house, the apparatus leaving the house, the fire run and the arrival at the fire and the rescue of woman and innocent children, etc., etc. No more touching scene could be enacted than this, and none is more ready to do homage to the Firemen than the American who justly places the value of life above riches. Unlike any other position in the City Government's service, the firemen are considered in a class wholly by themselves. Great latitude is allowed them, and where one is seen, especially in a crowded building, no matter where, one feels that he is protected and that the danger has been reduced to a minimum. Note the fireman dozing in his armchair in the fire house, and one sees the dream depicted on the wall over his head. He dreams that his wife and child are probably in danger, and in fancy he sees his wife placing the child in its crib for the night. Disturbed by the dream, he awakens and paces the floor nervously until an alarm is sounded and the scene changes to the sleeping quarters of the men. They jump out of their cots, hastily don some of their clothing and slide down the pole erected in the centre of the room and which leads to the main floor below. Meanwhile the horses bound out of their stalls, place themselves in front of the apparatus and are secured thereto by the men who have reached the ground. The doors are opened and out they dash at breakneck speed, threatening danger to whoever may place himself in their way. Then note the fire run, the greatest ever yet produced. One after another they dash by with almost lightning rapidity, until the very earth trembles with vibration from the iron hoofs of the grand horses, who appear to know that they are on an errand of mercy. They arrive at the fire, and immediately is seen the hook and ladder being placed in position, the firemen mounting the ladder, carrying the hose with which they finally extinguish the blaze, but not before they rescue several inmates of the burning dwelling, including a number of children. No more realistic picture could be imagined or offered to the public, who, without exception, praise the heroic efforts of the fire fighters, and applaud again and again. No picture show is complete without one of these marvelous life motion headliners.
- An old miller, feeling that his end is near, assembles his three sons to divide his property among them. He leaves his mill to the oldest, his land and property to the second, and when his youngest son enters he has nothing to give him any more but the old, purring cat. After this the old man dies. The youngest son, despaired for having been so badly served, mourns over his sad lot, when the cat, getting suddenly taller, caresses and comforts him, telling him that she is in a position to procure him a fortune and honors. She asks him to dress her, and begs him to give her a pair of boots, hat and a wallet. Having left her master, the cat goes in the forest, where a lot of young rabbits are frolicking. She suddenly appears in the midst of them, provided with a bag, and seizes one, which she puts in the bag and carries it away. The cat then runs to the King's palace, where she offers the rabbit to the King as a present of his master, Marquis of Carabas. She asks her master to go to the bank of the river, take his clothes off and throw himself in the river, pretending to be drowning, at the very moment when the King's coach is passing by, wherein the King with the Princess is taking a ride. The miller's son jumps into the water. The coach stops, the King alights, followed by the Princess, and orders the servants to help the young man. The Princess, seeing the charming young man, falls in love with him. The King invites him to get into the coach, and the three ride towards the palace. The cat, in the meantime, went to the corn fields, where country men and women are harvesting. She asks the reapers to tell the King when his coach passes by that all these fields are the property of the Marquis of Carabas. If they do not tell so they will be minced in pie meat. The king's coach appears; he asks whose fields these are. They belong to the Marquis of Carabas answer the countrymen. While the King is reviewing the Marquis of Carabas' estate, the cat goes to the Ogres's Castle, asking him if it is true that he can assume any form he likes. The Ogre, to show his cleverness, changes himself immediately into a roaring lion. The cat admires this, but says she does not believe that he can make himself into one of the smallest animals, and asks him to transform himself into a rat, which the Ogre does. The cat immediately catches the rat and eats her up. The cat then goes to the dining room, where the servants are preparing a great dinner for the Ogre and tells them that they are released and that the castle and everything in it belongs now to the Marquis of Carabas. Soon after this the King and Princess enter, followed by their court. The young miller's son, who has been informed by the cat of the situation, does the honor of his house to his royal guests.
- The usual watermelon picture shows darkey men eating the luscious fruit. We have an excellent one of that kind of which we have sold quite a number, but the demand for new watermelon pictures has induced us to pose two colored women in which they are portrayed, ravenously getting on the outside of a number of melons, much to the amazement of the onlookers.
- A cook and his assistant are seen preparing dinner. While cook leaves the room he cautions his assistant to watch the pot so that it will not boil over. The assistant proceeds to pick the feathers from a chicken. Meanwhile the pot boils over and Satan appears, surrounded by a cloud of steam. He alights and creeps over to within a few feet of the bench on which the assistant is sitting. Suddenly the chicken takes life and Satan stands out in the centre of the floor. He seizes the assistant and, after wrestling with him, throws him bodily into the large pot, the chicken meanwhile hops away. Satan disappears and the cook returns. Missing his assistant, he looks into the pot and tastes the contents thereof with a large ladle. The soup not being to his taste, he digs into it with a large spit, when out comes one of the legs of his assistant. He dips in again and repeats until the entire body, in small pieces, lies on the floor before him. Fishing for the head, he finally pulls out the head of an ass. Throwing it on the floor, the pieces come slowly together, but the head of the assistant is still missing. He returns to the cauldron and finally fishes out the head, which, together with an arm that had been overlooked, he throws at his assistant, and he is again restored to his natural shape. He relates his experience to the cook, who listens with mouth wide open. In the meantime the cauldron takes the shape of a huge devil head, and in their excitement to run away the bench is overturned and the cook is precipitated to the floor with great force. Extraordinarily funny.
- Wolves are plainly seen trying to break their way out of the cage in order to get the food carried by the keeper to some other animals. Every one knows how ferocious wolves are from what has been written about them, but many have never seen this beast, and to this element our picture appeals. This film will pay for itself wherever you show it.
- The scene is laid in the boudoir of a pretty maiden, who is seen in her bed fast asleep. She is a somnambulist. Rising, she lights a candle and leaves her room. We follow her through the corridor out on the roof, where she walks as though in a trance. We follow her for a full block across the roofs of the houses until she arrives at the corner, when she turns and walks on the outer edge for a few feet and, missing her footing, she is violently thrown to the ground, fifty feet below. The picture changes, and the body is seen to fall through space and land on the ground, but by the that time she is lifeless. An officer picks her up, but life is extinct. A man passing at the time assists the officer in carrying her to the hospital. Again the picture changes, and we see the maiden fast asleep in her room. Suddenly she rolls out on the floor, when she awakens and finds it but a dream, a hideous nightmare. Falling on her knees at her bedside, she prays fervently. Magnificent.
- Here is decided novelty. The figure is very large and the facial expression is wonderful to a marked degree. A man is seated at a table on which is lying a revolver and a bottle of whiskey. He pours out a drink, and is about to swallow it when he stops to reason with himself. Laying aside the whiskey, he seizes the revolver and places it to his temple, is about to blow out his brains, when he again changes his mind and drinks the whiskey. We consider this to be one of the finest life motion pictures ever made.
- In this brief "trick film" two clowns assemble an enormous magic lantern which first projects moving images, then emits dancing girls.
- In a public place in Constantinople at the corner of a bazaar, the executioner is seated upon a stone and is resting from his daily labors while eating a crust of bread. Suddenly there come running into the place a lot of Turkish men and women preceding some Turkish policemen, who drag along four prisoners in chains. The policemen shut up the four prisoners in the pillory. Their four heads stick up through the huge plank, which is provided with four openings. One of the policemen urges the executioner to decapitate the prisoners. He accordingly seizes a mighty sabre and cuts off by a single stroke the four heads, which roll upon the ground. After having placed the heads in a cask, he resumes eating his meal. Immediately the four heads pop out of the cask one at a time to see what the executioner is doing, and in due order each one seeks its body. The four executed prisoners thus reunited throw themselves upon the headsman and in spite of his resistance one of them picks up the sabre lying upon the ground and cuts his body into two pieces. The four prisoners take flight. The two legs and lower part of the body run frantically, while the bust upon the ground calls to them with gestures of despair. Finally, when the legs, in their flight, come close to the bust, it seizes them and thus the pieces of the executioner are united. Then he calls the policemen, who, followed by the crowd, enter into the pursuit of the escaping men.
- A realistic representation of the bombardment of Port Arthur by the Japanese. The great iron clad monsters of the deep are seen to glide in and out firing at the Russians, who are inland. The water effect is grand, and the mines are seen to explode, throwing thousands of tons of water high into the air; ships are seen to burst into flame and sink from sight, leaving the crew to fight their way to shore, some of them being shot by the Russians from the fort. A most exciting picture and of timely interest.
- "Shows a girl and her lover swinging in a hammock. In this case there are two men who are trying to make an impression, and, after a struggle, one throws himself in the hammock bodily and the other cuts the rope, which precipitates the occupants to ground with great force."
- When Reuben comes to town there is always "something doing" and the fact is borne out in this case also. Our rustic friend has received one of those persuasive circulars from a "city gent" advising him that he can buy real gold for a song. Reuben bites on the alluring bait and arrives in New York, carpet bag and all. The sharp displays his wares to the unsophisticated yokel, and shows him the certificate from the assayer proving apparently that the gold is genuine. The jay pays over his hard earned dollar and the sharper vanishes. An everyday occurence in the great metropolis. Fine.
- Reenactment of a scene from the Boxer Rebellion.
- A juggler enters upon the scene, picks up a skull, throws it into the air, catches it in his hands, where it is transformed into a handkerchief. The handkerchief, after being twirled about a wand, is changed to a napkin, and afterward to a tablecloth. Out of the table cloth comes a servant. The servant brings a low table upon which the juggler throws some magic powder. The powder takes fire and blazes up into a large flame, in the midst of which appears a beautiful female. The flame dies away, the lady descends to show that she is alive. She mounts the table again. The juggler leaves the room. The servant falls in love with the lady and proposes marriage, but she fades from view. The juggler reenters and head over heals disappears from the top of the chair. The servant rushes toward the chair, juggler reappears coming out from under the table, seizes the servant and, throwing him to the floor, reduces him to smoke. He disposes of the chair in like manner and dances off.
- This is a moving picture of the well known comedian, Fred Poplar. He appears on the stage accompanied by a dummy of a man, and the two apparently engage in an animated conversation. It is presumed that the dummy does not agree with his partner, and they proceed to engage in a fight. Judging from their actions, each has an even chance of winning. To say the least, this picture creates roars of laughter.
- This Film shows a beautiful train ride. The scenery is vivid throughout. Our panorama shows all the important mines and cities. On our right we see boys skating while in the background we see Independence, the City where Harry Orchard blew up the fourteen nonunion miners. Far in the distance many miles away we see the mountain range of Sangre De Cresto. The trains go still further through a beautiful mountain region. We see the towns of Elkton and Anacondack and many others.
- The opening scene shows a merry crowd, men and women, going on a vacation trip down the river. We see the merriment on the boat, the couples dancing while the music is playing. Tired from the day's frolic, the travelers retire. One of the colored servants takes a step ladder, looking through the transoms of the state rooms. Looking through the transom of the last state room, he sees a fat man busily sewing his trousers. He takes a siphon, drenching the fat man with soda water, and quickly runs away. The fat man runs out of his state room to punish the practical joker. At this moment a young man passes his room. Thinking the passer-by was the mischief maker, the fat man pulls off his clothes and then throws him overboard. The unwilling bather swims ashore, and, being minus clothes, he slips in a barrel, and is thus brought home by police.
- This picture depicts the eruption of the volcano by which over 30,000 souls were hurled into eternity. The numerous explosions which took place during the eruption are plain to be seen. Thousands upon thousands of tons of molten lava, sand, rocks and steam are thrown high in the air and descend with crushing force upon the unfortunate inhabitants of the doomed city of St. Pierre. This is the worst calamity which occurred since a similar eruption by Mt. Vesuvius when Pompeii was destroyed.

By knocking out his opponent he become "The Amateur Champion." Not satisfied with his victory over little Tommy O'Toole, he challenges his father, but here he strikes a snag and is knocked out in the first round.
- This film will amuse the little folks. It shows about 50 tots dancing around a May pole. This picture, in particular, affords an excellent opportunity for coloring, as the ribbons on the May pole may each be stained a different color and will prove a star picture for any exhibition.
- They are still in their honeymoon, and everything is heavenly except the cakes which the young wife bakes. The young husband got chronic indigestion, and positively refuses to eat more cakes. This breaks the young wife's heart; she will not stand for such cruel treatment. She is going out to buy a trunk, to go back to mother. The young husband not wishing to lose his tootzie-wootzie, hides himself in the trunk which his wife purchased. Many mishaps befall the trunk, and incidentally the young husband. At last, the trunk reaches Its destination, and out comes the badly shattered husband. Rather than make another trip like this, he promises to eat any old thing his darling wife may cook, and so they kiss and make up.

When she lifts her veil he sees that she is [black]. She calls her lover and united they give the young man a good thrashing.
- The scene is similar to that seen at Coney Island, where a number of shows are constantly going on. A Juggler enters, dressed in promenade costume, with an overcoat hanging over his arm, a silk hat on his head and carrying a cane. Laying down his coat and cane, he uses his hat for some of his juggling feats. Throwing the hat to the ground, it suddenly becomes a balloon, which he catches and balances on the end of the cane. The balloon turns into a piece of cloth, which in turn becomes an umbrella cover on the end of the cane. Concealing himself behind the umbrella for a moment, he suddenly comes forth clothed in the costume of a young Greek. He draws out of the umbrella a beautiful woman in Algerian costume. One after the other, he takes from the umbrella a Swiss, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Holland, Swedish and Gypsy Maiden, and, as a finish, a beautiful Fairy appears, the latter dropping out of a bunch of roses as they fall from the umbrella. Thus there have been produced by one umbrella, ten beautiful maidens which our Juggler poses in a charming group. He causes each one to jump to the floor, but in their descent each one changes her costume to that of an up-to-date coquette. They all engage in a dance, and the scenery changes. The Juggler assumes his original costume. He tears the umbrella apart and the latter again becomes a cane. He misses his hat. Perceiving the balloon in the corner, he seizes it, and it again becomes a high hat, which he dons and bows himself out of the picture.
- This film shows the navvies taking their morning exercise, and from the expression on their faces they appear to thoroughly enjoy themselves. These brace sailors are justly proud of their vessel and its brave commander, and deserve all the attention lavished on them on their return from the Philippines.
- The Woman of Samaria is here seen coming to the well to draw water. Seating herself on the edge of the well she looks around and beholds Jesus, who, after gazing on her for a moment seats Himself on the ground at her feet and converses with her after which He departs.

They squirm and twist until the current is shut off. They are then introduced to a lung tester, in which they both blow. One of the patients is immediately covered with flour which is discharged by the instrument, while the other receives a volume of black powder directly between the eyes. This is a corker.
- Colored troops are a novelty to the ordinary layman, in that we rarely see them in battle array. Here, then, can be seen Ohio's crack colored regiment, as proud as only colored soldiers can be, but who will be heard from to their advantage later. There was a "hot time" when they came before Havana.
- "This sagacious animal created great excitement when on exhibition on the Esplanade of the National Export Exposition at Philadelphia. He represents the highest attainment in the art of training animals, and is looked on as the 20th century wonder. A powerful colored man is his opponent. Each is provided with a set of boxing gloves and they pummel each other all around the ring. The horse scores the only knockdown."

Next morning. The young couple at their first meal, both in the preparation and in the eating of it, must be seen to be appreciated, Then they find a boarding house good enough for them and this is where they go.
- The train is first observed rounding a curve at a distance of nearly a mile, and as she bowls along at a speed exceeding seventy miles an hour, the engineer blows a whistle, warning a gang of roadmen engaged in repairing the roadway. As the train approaches, the passengers and others are seen waving their handkerchiefs, hats, etc., from windows and platforms.
- Here is a picture true to nature. Some of you very likely have been of a number employed in a large mill. The mechanics, begrimmed with iron filing, grease and smoke, are seen issuing from the great iron works and wending their way homeward, calmly pulling on their nose warmers or pipes.
- "This is an interesting picture, illustrating how two little girls entrap a burglar. The burglar is seen to fore his way into the room where the children are sleeping, and proceeds to plunder it. The little girls awake, one of them goes out unnoticed to give the alarm, while the other holds the burglar at bay with a pistol until the arrival of an officer."
