Storyline
A commercial. Four men sit in animated conversation in front of a billboard for Admiral Cigarettes. The billboard fills the entire background. Beside them is a large box, also marked Admiral. The men are a social cross section: one wears a feathered headdress, another a military outfit, a third striped pants like Uncle Sam, and the fourth (with pork-chop whiskers) is in a suit, vest, tie, and hat. Suddenly, the box pops open and a man emerges in Napoleonic admiralty garb: he hands out cigarettes, then tosses dozens of them on the ground as the men light up and unfurl a banner saying, "We all smoke." Smiling, everyone points to the billboard. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia
One of the ads exhibited for free on New York rooftops in 1897 for free. The nightly spectacles attracted so many people (reportedly, thousands) that the projectionist, Edwin S. Porter was detained by police for "blacking traffic on Broadway at Thirty-Fourth Street." See more »
