William Heise and W.K.L. Dickson direct this short featuring Hadji Cheriff, an Arabian vaudeville performer. His act, as shown here, consists of several acrobatic moves. He was filmed in Edison's studio, the Black Maria.
This film displays more energy then most of the films from the early Edison era. Cheriff only has limited room in which to maneuver but still displays a good deal of grace and athleticism. Cheriff would also make a short for Heise and Dickson's successor at Edison, James H. White, called "Arabian Gun Twirler".
A 2 out of 10.
