The Moving Picture World (1907)

708 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. Film Review. Gaumont issue this week "The Romance of a Fisherman's Daughter." The opening scene portrays, two of the principle charac- ters of this subject, the fisherman standing on the threshold of his home with his daughter, a demure but sweet-faced lassie, seated on a bench next to the door-step mending a net. A traveler approaches and requests to be permitted to photograph the two. The request is granted and, having made the exposure and expressing his thanks, the stranger passes on followed by the admiring gaze of the maid. A sailor coming along the same path is received by the father very kindly, but the latter soon enters the home leaving the former in the company of his daughter. He is evidently deeply in love with the maid, for he makes his declarations in a very dramatic manner, but his attentions are not acceptable and she joins her father. Hopeless, he staggers on to his quarters. We next see the stran- ger at the coast throwing stones into the rough sea. The fishermaid passes along with a basket of fish bound for the market, and as the two meet he presents the finished photograph, purchases her lot of fish, and as she passes on he throws a kiss and watches her longingly. The next scene is that of the rough sea-coast with the water klnetoscop@@ 9 FiSmg, Lanterns, Accessaries, ' Edison Supplies. flAQ Oxygenan^ Hydsogea V/W la Cylinders. ..--'.- Lime Pencils, Coed razors, Etc Prompt Service, Reasonable RrW-»i ALBANY CALCIUM LIGHT €0. 26 William St., Albany, & V.

The maid is seated on a large rock listlessly gazing out to sea, when our stran- ger happens along. He offers his attentions, which- she shyly permits. The sailor lad seeking the maid -comes upon the two un- expectedly, and the sight of the traveler making love to the object of his adoration causes pangs of jealousy to vibrate his frame. He follows them as they pass along the rocks and when he comes upon them he madly separates them and with a bowie knife endeavors to strike the traveler, but the maid interposes and receiving the knife thrust falls to the rocks apparently mortally wounded. Consternation now fills the heart of the traveler, and grief-stricken he bears the limp form of the maid to her home. The final scene is the interior of the .fish- erman's home, the daughter is convalescent and at her bedside is seated the sad parent. The traveler calls to learn the condition of the patient, is ushered in and is shortly followed by the sailor, who now is remorse- ful for his deed and craves the pardon of the one he wronged.' This she grants and he is roughly thrust from the room by the indignant parent. Our traveler soon ex- presses his love, is accepted and receives the parental blessing. This is a very touching scene. The evening scene at the sea-coast is beautifully tinted. And "A Red Hot Day." This is a film depicting very vividly the # unadulterated bliss of a sweltering hot day in a large city. Pedestrians are seen on all thoroughfares with scarcely enough vigor to retain them- selves intact and with absolutely no ambi- tion to follow their regular vocations. So oppressing are the conditions that in one instance a poor mortal blessed with an over- abundance of avoirdupois is sompletely li- quefied, leaving the garments on the side- walk in front of a refreshment parlor. The other patrons are horrified, but the quick wit of the waiter comes to the fore and he immediately produces a large tub, with a sponge dips up the water.from the walk, throws into the tub the garments, and then brings' into play an electric fan, and -with all others aiding to create cool air with various appliances the desired result is ac- complished as, behold, to our astonishment the incarnation of the unfortunate mortal is brought about and all continue on their way. Farther on we come to a number of tene- ment houses where the squalid conditions make the suffering more intense. Men and women fall in a faint, overcome by the tor- rid rays, of the sun, when a shower of rain comes to the relief and in blissful glee all dance about delighted to be deluged.
