1894 film by William Heise, William Kennedy Dickson

"The famous parade ground of Metropolitan fashion. Exquisitely gowned women, club men, actresses, millionaires pass by on their afternoon stroll." - from the Edison Catalog

Mary Stuart s'agenouille devant le bourreau derrière lequel se tiennent des hommes en armes. Elle pose sa tête sur le billot. Le bourreau brandit sa hache, l'abat, la tête roule sur le sol, le bourreau la présente aux spectateurs. Premier film historique et qui utilise un effet spécial dans le cinéma.

In a long, diaphanous skirt, held out by her hands with arms extended, Broadway dancer Annabelle Moore performs. Her dance emphasizes the movement of the flowing cloth. She moves to her right and left across an unadorned stage. Many of the prints were distributed in hand-tinted color.

One of W.K.L. Dickson's laboratory workers horses around for the camera.

Experimental film that follows up on the results of "Monkeyshines, No. 1". Once again, an Edison company worker moves around in front of the motion picture camera.
