Approximate Length, 50 feet.

The subject is very comical and more than ordinarily fine photographically, and is exceedingly popular wherever shown.

From the moment when the car hangs poised in mid-air at the top of the incline awaiting the start, its lightning-like rush down the almost perpendicular incline, its wild leap and swift flight across the miniature lake to which it descends, and the landing of the passengers combine to make the ideal scene for reproduction before an audience, and if you have not got this "on your list," you had better obtain it at once, with the assurance that it will never grow old or weary your people, but will likely prove the hit of the evening wherever shown.
S. P. 208. SOMETHING GOOD — NEGRO KISS. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
It has never been denied that in his own way the "AfroAmerican" brother is an adept in his own style of love-making. This film shows a swell "coon" and his best girl making love, and both evidently enjoy the situation and are taking heaps of satisfac
The action is so lively and thoroughly amusing that the audience is as much pleased as the performers, and apart from the fun in this picture the photography is of the best and never fails to please the audience.
