The Next Step...

An athlete (from Newark I presume) waves two clubs in a quick routine. This was filmed by W.K.L. Dickson and William Heise for the Edison Manufacturing Company. It was made using the horizontal-feed Kinetograph that was developed by Thomas Edison and Dickson.

A big step forward, this film is much clearer than the previous three Monkeyshine films from the same group of people the in 1890. The movement of the boy is able to been see easily. Heise and Dickson' films would continue to improve in quality.

Again not much to see here but maintains interest as a relic of a time long ago. I gave it a 2 out of 10.
