Year 1901 - 11

A young man's telephone call to his sweetheart is intercepted by her father, who beats him with his umbrella.

A pretty and natural picture in which the principal actors are two tiny tots who are evidently not a bit afraid of the briny deep as they splash around in the waves in very evident delight and enjoyment. The water effects are splendid and this is a beautiful subject of "Child-life." We recommend this to make a hit with any audience.

In recording this scene the position of our camera was an excellent one, and we present to the public a most perfect picture of the train’s arrival. The engine is decorated with crepe to mark the solemnity of this great historical event. As the train stops at the platform great respect for the dead President is shown by the waiting diplomats and reception committee baring their heads and standing respectfully on one side as the mourners leave the train.

This is a great historical event. Our cameras were stationed in the center of the Esplanade looking toward the Main Approach to the Pan-American Exposition...

Leicester Tigers face Plymouth in this early filmed rugby match, which took place 26 October 1901, at Leicester's Welford Road home.

In this picture we show the largest pigeon farm in the world, consisting of hundreds of pigeon houses of all sizes. One of the attendants at the farm throws out feed to the pigeons. Immediately the air is filled with hundreds of thousands of flying birds. This is a most remarkable subject and bound to please the most exciting audiences. Sold complete or in separate lengths.

Another fine picture of the champion going through his side-stepping tactics which have made him famous. The picture ends with a wrestling bout with his brother, Jack Jeffries.

Another Edison short filmed at the Pan-American Exposition is pretty much the same film as ESQUIMAUX GAME OF SNAP-THE-WHIP with the only difference being the sport. Here we see a group of kids playing leap-frog.

The evolution of Rugby League in a top of the table match between rival Lancashire clubs.
