- "A crowd of youngsters trying to imitate the various acrobatic performances which they have seen at the circus. Their efforts are very ludicrous."
- The first film to ever show a nudity scene on screen is a simple presentation of a servant preparing a bath for another woman.
- "Taken at the Boston wharfs immediately after the Blizzard of 1898. Shows a large number of shipping craft of various sizes covered with ice and snow."
- At the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, CA, the "Chitose", a ship built for the Japanese Navy, is seen being launched after completion. A yacht, the "Unadilla", passes by in the foreground, with its passengers looking on. A small fishing boat and a rowboat are also seen in the vicinity,.
- "After the fierce fight is over, there is always a number of dead and wounded soldiers left on the fields. In this picture you can see the Sisters of Charity and members of the Red Cross Society going about the field caring for the wounded. You can also see the priest as he administers the sacrament to the dying, and you can see the dead soldiers carried from the field."
- "This is a street scene. The rain has just ceased, and passers-by are lowering their umbrellas. A well-dressed young man meets a pretty girl beneath an awning over a shop door. While they are standing there, the shopkeeper lowers the awning, which has accumulated a lot of water, and the two are thoroughly drenched. This picture has made a big hit."
- "This is a companion picture to No. 1200 [EGGS HATCHING], and shows the same lot of chickens two hours after they have emerged from the shell. Although but a short time has elapsed they are very lively and cunning."
- "This picture shows the disaster which cost the 'Shamrock I.' the second of the International Cup Races. The wreck is clearly shown, with the men in the rigging trying to clear it away."

- At the opening of this picture, a couple are seen in dim outlines, spooning on a park bench. In comes a policeman, armed with a dark-lantern, which he suddenly flashes on the couple. They cease their love-making, in great confusion, and the policeman walks on, but as soon as he is out of sight, the couple commence billing and cooing again. This picture is particularly interesting because of the photographic effect of the sudden flashing of a dark lantern on the couple. It is very cleverly worked out, and the picture has made a big hit wherever it has been shown.
- An expedition of the 4th Cavalry, U.S.A., under command of Lieut.-Col. E.M. Hayes, starting from Pasay, Northern Luzon, on a search for Filipino insurgents.
- In this picture we secured a most perfect panoramic scene of the war vessels, official tugs and excursion steamers starting for home immediately after the race. The boats were all under full speed and passed closed to our Committee boat for the purpose of reading the official figures. We were thus enabled to secure a most perfect and realistic marine view. The revenue cutters "Gresham" and "Seminole," followed by the revenue cutter tender "Scout," the steam yachts "Niagara" and "Corsair," the Yacht Club Committee tugs, five in number, each churn the water into a seething mass of foam. They are closely followed by the excursion fleet.
- Motion picture films of the coronation of King Edward VII, which took place on August 9th, 1902, were ready for delivery from our factory at Orange, N. J., on the 18th the Monday, next following. A cablegram from our special photographers in London on August 9th, 1902, advised us that they had secured the complete pictures on that day, that the pictures were sent to Queenstown, and placed on board the fast steamship "Umbria" of the Cunard Line, Sailing Sunday, August 10th, 1902. Thus we were enabled to receive the coronation films in America at least three days in advance of mail matter which was posted in London on the day of the coronation. Remember we had the exclusive right of kinetographing the ceremonies at Westminister Abbey, and our pictures were not only the first to arrive in America, but they were the only authentic views. An excellent picture, in which the State Coach containing the King and Queen is shown to good advantage, together with all the notables.
- This is a mixture of fun and pathos. When the picture first bursts into view, the exterior of an English Police Station is seen, from which the squad emerges. A change and then one of the "finest" is seen posing before a great building as though proud of his uniform. Again a change and we see a table on which was placed a dark lantern. Bobby's hand reaches forth and grasps the lantern and we follow him through the famous "White Chapel" district of which we have heard so much. All that is seen are the rays of light from the lantern and the object at which they are pointed. We see a high board fence on which a number of advertisements appear and the rays move along until "Bobby's" best girl is seen on the top of the steps leading into the basement of the house where she is employed. In her hand she holds dainty viands, which she knows Bobby delights in, and she beckons to him to follow. In this case you can draw your own conclusions. We follow the light through all the dark passages of the district until it enters a bank building and surprises a burglar at work on a safe. Suddenly Bobby appears behind the lantern, a scuffle ensues and the burglar is captured. This is undoubtedly one of the most novel moving pictures ever made.

- This is a good one. A man and wife return from a ball and before retiring they indulge in a quarrel and hubby leaves the house in high dudgeon. Wifey now regrets the part she took and calling her maid takes her into her confidence and the two women confer. The maid suggests that she should don a full suit of men's wearing apparel and then make love to the wife when the husband comes home. They carry out their ideas and when the master comes home he is shocked to see his wife in the arms of an apparently handsome young man. He prepares to give the visitor a drubbing, when the maid who is dressed as a man removes the mustache and allows her hair to fall, much to the surprise of hubby and delight of wifey. They are thus reconciled and we draw the curtain here.
- Moonlight garden scene. A couple wearing masks are walking through the garden. They sit down on a bench and the young man begins to make love to his partner.
