William Heise and James H. White shot this short film while at the training grounds of the New York State Militia.
The men do not act passively while being filmed, but instead engage with the camera, giving the film some more energy then of the other short films of the time period.

Amy Muller was a vaudeville performer who traveled to New Jersey to perform part of her routine in Edison's Black Maria. William Heise directed.
This film shows dancing that is several steps removed from the energy of Annabelle or Little Egypt.

William K. L. Dickson directs this short, featuring the great American legend of Rip Van Winkle. This is only part of the series, which stars actor Joseph Jefferson as the title character.
Jefferson was famous for playing Van Winkle for 40 years across various stages and lived long enough to portray the character in film. The prolific cinematographer G. W. Blitzed runs the camera as this film is part of history as one of the first films to attempt to adapt famous literature to the new medium of film. Though not very impressive today, Washington Irving's character and his various adventures would have been readily apparent to any viewer of the 1890s.
