Vol. III. No. i THE PHONOSCOPE 17 Hew Jnlms for flew IRecorbs for "Screen" Machines XEalking Machines The following list of new films has been compiled from lists sent us by the leading foreign and domestic manufacturers jtjt^tj*<£t£<£>£ BATTLE OF SAN JUAN HILL. This is one of the greatest war films ever placed on the market. The enemy is seen scouting in the underbrush at the foot of a steep hill. Suddenly our own soldier boys appear under the order of "Forward by rushes," and gallantly charge up the hill. A struggle takes place, but our boys are victorious and they plant our flag there to stay. The most realistic part of this scene is the explosion of the bombs thrown by the enemy in close proximity to a soldier who has fallen, and who is being cared for by the Red Cross staff, who finally carry him away on a stretcher. A most exciting picture. CHARGE OF THE ROUGH RIDERS AT EL CANEY. Here are the renowned Rough Riders at the memorable battle of El Caney where the Spaniards fired on them from ambush, but who finally retreated after suffering severe loss. Our Rough Riders made a name for themselves at this fight that will live forever. The tried and true soldiers spent the night upon their guns in the mud by the Fl Caney roadside. Of the original 1,500 Spanish soldiers, only 200 were left with their general. SCALING A FORT AT MANILLA. Here you see our soldiers, assisted by the marines of Dewey's fleet, scaling a wall of the fort at Manilla. We cannot but admire those brave men who, at the risk of their lives, scale the wall, not knowing at what minute they will be shot by those at the top of the fort. It is a most inspiring picture, and one that will enthuse your audience. DEATH OF MACEO AND HIS FOLLOWERS. This is a memorable occurrence, and one that created indignation throughout the civilized world. The poor Cubans are caught in ambush, and, although they defend themselves, are mercilessly shot down in their tracks. The film is true to the actual scene and your audience will be thoroughly aroused. CHARGE AT LAS GUASIMAS (where Capron .and Fish were killed) A most realistic picture full of life action. The boys are seen rushing through fire and smoke in their desire to reach the enemy, who continue to retreat. A very exciting picture, and shows where Captain Capron and Sergeant Fish lost their lives. It also brings to mind the words of Colonel Wood, who, when the soldiers tried to appease their anger by swearing, said, "Don't swear, boys; fight. REPULSE OF THE SPANISH TROOPS AT SANTIAGO BY THE AMERICAN FORCES. Here is an exciting picture where the Spaniards are repulsed with great loss by the volunteer army of the United States. This is an exact reproduction of the fight as it occurred, and it inspires you to see how bravely our soldier boys drive the Spaniards from their position and shoot them down as they try to escape. LADY CONTORTIONIST. Here is shown Mile. De La Roy, the well-known dancer, who has a national reputation. The lady seems to be double-jointed, as she twists herself in every conceivable shape. This film shows the dancer doing her great split act.
