March, 1897 flew jftfms for "Screen" fIDacbtnes UMBRELLA BRIGADE. Incideuts of the great parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, showiug a marching Club carrying red, white and blue umbrellas, which they revolve while marching, giving fine pin-wheel effects. This feature of the parade discloses a large American flag which, unfurling in the breeze, adds to the spirit of the occasion. BATTERY A, LIGHT ARTILLERY, U. 8. ARMY. Shows a battalion of light artillery in rapid movement. Figures well in the background, and the pictures tilled wilh men, horses, cannon and ammunition carriages. Effective perspective and stirring subject, full of action and martial spirit. GRAND BOULEVARD SCENE, PARIS. TRAMWAY STATION, ST. PETERSBURG. CORONATION OF THE CZAR OF RUSSIA. RUE ROYAL, PARIS. MARKET S I REET SCENE, PARIS. HAVING A DRINK. This is one of the blest ideas in photography and is called reversible photography. When shown on ihe screen all actions are reversed ; beer comes back in bottles ; crackers return to the plate ; chairs stand up etc., etc. Very comical. CORBETT-COURTNEY FIGHT. LEONARD-CUSHING FIGHT. LOVE SCENE. Showing lovers kissing and bugging. Mother appears on the scene and drives lover away. She sits down on bench and reprimands her daughter, when mischievous boy tips over the settee. Both fall over. BOWERY STREET SCENE. Mckinley and Cleveland. Going to the Capitol. This film is one of much interest as it shows the accident of the day. The picture opens wilh Troop A, of the Black Horse Cavalry of Cleveland, Ohio, the personal guard of the president-elect. The troopers are mounted on prancing horses and make an extraordinary tine appearance. Following this body guard comes the four-horse barouche occupied by President Cleveland and Major McKinley. At this point in the scene, one of the rear horses, attached to the President's carriage, slipped aud fell on the pavement, the accident happeniug immediately in front of the camera. The carriage stops, mounted police galop to the rescue aud thus enabled the operator to get the only effective photograph of the retiring and incoming Presidents that the great parade afforded. Extremely clear, with strong light effects and is life-size throughout. GATTLING ARTILLERY. 71ST REGIMENT, N. G. S. N. Y. WASH-DAY SCENE. This scene shows washing and hanging out clothes. Mischievous boy tips over the tub. Very funny and laughable. \ ICE-PRESIDENT HOBART'S ESCORT. The Essex troop of Newark, N. J., mounted on coal black chargers, a fine body of men and horses, as they appeared while acting as escort to the new Vice-President. Film of good quality with clear figures aud good action.
