- We are the first in the field with a wonderfully accurate and realistic series showing the highly exciting conflicts between the Russians and Japanese. These films will be the most wonderful money earners of the century. The people of America are greatly excited over the doings of the little brown fellow and the big giant with whiskers. The battles are just far enough away to make business good in this country without causing the awful hardships of war. No war series offers the highly picturesque coloring and exciting action. Both sides are fierce and desperate fighters and the background of strange huts and villages is entrancing in the extreme. It is a series of motion war pictures that will live for years after peace follows death and carnage, and the accuracy and thrilling features can not be questioned. We are admirably situated for getting out the successive films of this series with the utmost promptness. With several correspondents in the field, arrangements for the reception of first copies of foreign made films, night-and-day arrangements here for getting out the positives, nobody can compete with us. Besides, we have on our staff a former naval expert who is thoroughly familiar with all the locations in the far East that will come under the focus of public vision during the war. His assistance and advice will be invaluable to assist in establishing the accuracy of details in our reproductions of the most thrilling and yet-to-be famous films. No series of war films has ever drawn the money that our new reproductions of the Japan-Russian struggles will. Not satisfied with their success of the day before, the Japanese returned the following day to Port Arthur, and the greatest and fiercest battle of the present war was fought. The action was commenced by the big guns of the land battery. The Japanese war ships steamed slowly past in line of battle, each vessel beginning to fire when opposite the Russian ships. The action then became general. There was no maneuvering, simply heavy, fast firing. The shells fell thick and fast. The people of the city fled to the hills. The streets were entirely deserted. During the action a number of Russian warships were destroyed. The Casualties on the Russian side were great. This picture shows the arrival of the Japanese fleet off Port Arthur. As they approached, the land Batteries on both sides opened a fierce fire on the fleet, while the warships poured out of the harbor, the Russians were firing with great rapidity and some accuracy, and supported by the guns of the forts gave promise of getting in some deadly work. The entire Russian fleet was pouring shell after shell into the Japanese fleet. The Japanese undaunted by the fierce fire of the Russians fought as they never fought before. Gun crews stripped to the waist shoved shells into the breeches of their guns till they glowed with heat. Fiercer and fiercer grows the battle until the Russians can no longer stand the fire from the Brownies and they try to get away but are blown up or beached to keep from sinking. This we consider a masterpiece, and a film without a peer.

No series of war films has ever drawn the money that our new reproductions of the Japan-Russian struggles will. This, the first of the battles, is one of the fiercest engagements fought. The Japanese Torpedo Boats crept quite close to the Russian ships before they were discovered. Each of the Japanese boats discharged torpedoes, three of which took effect, striking the Battleships "Csarevitch" and "Retvizan" and the Cruiser "Pallada." The Russians had been surprised. Notwithstanding the continuous fire from the Russian Forts and Fleet, the Japanese Torpedo Boats escaped, but had left death and destruction behind. This picture shows the harbor at Port Arthur, the Russian Battleships, "Csarevitch" and Retvizan" and the Cruiser "Pallada" at the entrance. The Japanese Torpedo Boats are seen approaching to within striking distance. Suddenly a well directed torpedo is seen to explode under the Russian Cruiser "Pallada" and carnage and blood fills the air. It is awful in its reality and chills pass through the frame of the spectator as it slowly sinks. This is the first stroke of the bells of war and we are the first in the market with the film. It is wonderful in every respect.
- A realistic representation of the bombardment of Port Arthur by the Japanese. The great iron clad monsters of the deep are seen to glide in and out firing at the Russians, who are inland. The water effect is grand, and the mines are seen to explode, throwing thousands of tons of water high into the air; ships are seen to burst into flame and sink from sight, leaving the crew to fight their way to shore, some of them being shot by the Russians from the fort. A most exciting picture and of timely interest.
- The captain of a Russian battleship is seen on the bridge of his ship anxiously scanning the horizon with his glasses. The scene changes several times, showing what is seen by the captain each time he looks out over the sea. First, a fleet of the enemy's ships are shown steaming at full speed toward the Russians. Next a naval battle is in progress, and the Russian ships are getting the worst of it. Again the view changes and shows one of the Russians being blown up and her sailors and officers frantically swimming away from the wreck, so as to avoid being drawn down in the suction. Suddenly a shell hits the ship on which the captain is located, and his men rush in all directions. Another shell, and there is a repetition of the scene; most of her crew go down with their ship.
- A scene representing the fort at Port Arthur. One of the large guns in the foreground is trained on the Japanese ships in the background. Suddenly a shell explodes directly in front of a Russian officer, killing him. Great excitement prevails. The fort is attacked by the Japanese army on the land side, and the infantrymen hasten to help repel the Japanese. A most exciting and very realistic battle scene.
