A Huge List

Performing on what looks like a small wooden stage, wearing a dress with a hoop skirt and white high-heeled pumps, Carmencita does a dance with kicks and twirls, a smile always on her face.

Eight scenes: Sing a Song of Sixpence, Old Mother Hubbard, Little Miss Muffet, Goosey Gander, Jack and Jill, Old Woman in a Shoe, Hey Diddle Diddle.

In this picture some very remarkable effects are obtained by the reversal of the motion of the negative. A man comes home, somewhat under the influence of liquor, and starts to remove his outer clothes. As fast as he removes each article and throws it from him, it immediately flies back, and when he is completely bewildered by this weird proceeding, His Satanic Majesty suddenly appears, and the man collapses.

A young couple go shopping for a baby.

Time-lapse photography is used to show the manual dismantling and demolition of New York's Star Theatre at 13th Street and Broadway over a period of about 30 days.

A huge fly is bothering an old man, who is trying to take a nap. The old man, after standing the torment as long as he can, jumps up and taking a shot-gun, fires at the fly and blows it to pieces, then goes back to bed to sleep in peace.

The setting of this fantastic scene represents the hall of an old chateau in which a miser has locked up seven large bags containing his wealth. Satan, who has made his way into the chateau, puts the seven bags in a strong box, and makes with his hands some cabalistic motions. The miser comes into the hall and is greatly astonished to find his fortune missing. He opens the coffer and immediately the bags leap out. He gathers them up and puts them back into the coffer. When he opens it again he finds that they have been transformed into seven young girls, who rush out and chase after him, beating him unmercifully. They shut him up in the coffer from which his gold has vanished. The miser pushes open the lid of the coffer, and to his profound despair finds that both young girls and money have disappeared. (This view is most sensational in its mysterious scenes.)

Country rube thinks what he sees on the movie screen is real. He jumps out of his seat to try to stop a kissing scene.

As scene as pleasing as incomprehensible. A juggler summons two chairs, which come to the stage jumping and twirling around. Across the back of these chairs the operator places a sheet of glass on which he lays a box about four inches high. He then takes a table cover, with his servant's help, rolls it up and from the centre emerges a lady, beautifully dressed. At the juggler's order she jumps in the box, in which she completely disappears. The operator, in taking the box, notices an incredulous smile among the audience; he then affirms that the lady is still inside, and to prove it he puts the box on his knees and the girl appears again in full figure. He makes her go in again, and opening the box he shows that the girl has vanished and that her dresses only remain at the bottom. Then he jumps into the box himself, and his servant afterward; the box rolls off the stage without any help.

Circus parades are of great interest and this is the most successful film of the kind ever obtained. The parade is lead by Buffalo Bill (The Honorable Wm. Cody) himself, mounted on his famous white steed said to be the most beautiful equine ever seen in public. It may be of interest to our patrons to know the fact that every horse in this parade, with one exception, was killed shortly afterwards in a disastrous railway wreck. The parade is varied in character, showing mounted Indians, Cowboys, Arabs, English troopers, Boer cavalry and our own famous Rough Riders, the rear being brought up by the mounted Cowboy Band.

This is the street parade of the great Indian Scout, Col. Cody, better and more familiarly known as Buffalo Bill. The entire aggregation is seen on parade accompanied by the wild animals they have secured during their journeys around the world, and presents an interesting spectacle. Everybody loves to see the street parade when the circus comes to town, but this is decidedly more interesting than a circus parade.
