MILITARY SCENES AND PARADES.
S. P. 308. THE AMERICAN FLAG. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
"Old Glory" fluttering: in the breeze never fails to rouse an audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and is, of course, a splendid film with which to wind up an entertainment.
S. P. 303. OPP FOR THE FRONT. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
One of the finest marching scenes ever taken by a camera; the soldier boys pass, keeping accurate time and step, with the mounted officers in the van on their way from camp to board the train for the front, to take an active part in the war, from which some of them will never return. The street is lined with interested spectators and if this film can be given with orchestra marching accompaniment it will prove the hit of the evening.
S. P. 304. DAILY MARCH. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
Life in a camp has its work and duties even when the soldiers are not engaged in actual warfare. Among these the daily drill is the event of the day, and sometimes considered a hardship by the soldiers themselves, although absolutely necessary to keep the men in good health and training. The soldier-like bearing of the boys on parade is especially noticeable in this film, which, like the preceding ones, is an ever popular subject with any audience in any part of the country.
S. P. 305. MARCH OF THE NAVAL RESERVES. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
Ever since the Spanish war the Naval Reserves have been a very popular branch of the service, and their public appearance has always excited much interest and enthusiasm. Our camera shows a march past of a body of reserves headed by a platoon of police and military band; and the whole scene is sharp, clear and full of action.
S. P. 532. CAVALRY PARADE. Price, $4.80.
Approximate Length, 40 feet.
Squadron of regular troops ride up and turn just as they reach the camera. Valuable especially as showing actual appearance of soldiers at forts on western frontier. A good film for any crowd.
S. P. 321. DEWEY PARADE. Price, $18.00.
Approximate Length, 150 feet.
The finest street parade ever shown, taken at the time Admiral Dewey visited Chicago shortly after the battle of Manilla bay. The parade shows first a mounted squad of Chicago's "finest," followed by cavalry, infantry and marine, and escort of honor and finally the carriage showing the famous admiral. A full face view is obtained as the' carriage turns the corner, and Dewey is seen in the act of bowing his acknowledgment to the vociferous applause which greets him from both sides of the street. The best picture of the "Fighting Admiral" ever obtained.
