Positively, you can say that the two sort of clowns in this film were athletic, & very good acrobats. The film was also three minutes long, which was above average for the time. I expect if audiences had seen this five years before they would have been quite mesmerized. Problem was time had moved on & audiences would have been looking for more entertainment like from Melies, Zucca etc, rather that these actuality type films, even if this one added comedy to it.
These one scene films were soon to be history, with filmakers slowly moving away from these cardboard sets into the real world. For a view into an old world this is probably worth a look, then best forgotten.
