- "A pretty maid is busy putting a blank record into a graphophone on the parlor table. Mr. Gayboy comes in and kisses the maid several times against her will; all unaware of the fact that the graphophone is making a record of his folly. Mrs. Gayboy comes in suddenly with her mother, and proceeds to show her the graphophone. The fatal record is repeated, and Mr. Gayboy is punished."
- "This is probably the only moving picture that was ever made of a genuine hanging scene. It was taken in the court yard of the Jacksonville jail, and shows the execution of a man. The man is seen mounting the platform accompanied by several clergymen. The executioner adjusts the black cap and the noose about the prisoner's neck. The trap is touched and the body is seen to shoot through the air, and hang quivering at the end of the rope. A very ghastly, but very interesting subject."
- Twenty-five round fight, with Jeffries the winner.
- "This picture shows Col. Roosevelt, accompanied by Lieut. Greenway and other prominent officers of the Rough Riders, galloping up to his headquarters, where he dismounts and walks into his tent. This view was taken in the camp with the Rough Riders, and is an excellent picture of Col. Roosevelt in the environment he loves so well."
- In this picture there is a limited amount of action in the pose. As the curtains are drawn aside the shell appears shut. It gradually opens, disclosing the model curled up in a recumbent position. She slowly arises as if awakening, and gracefully assumes the final position of the pose.
- Time-lapse photography is used to show the manual dismantling and demolition of New York's Star Theatre over a period of about 30 days.
- A re-enactment using actors of the recent coronation of Britain's King Edward VII.
- "A pretty girl is reclining under an apple tree full of blossoms. Her sweetheart steals up unobserved; shakes the tree gently so that the blossoms fall in a shower over her, awakening her from her siesta. As she awakens, the young man leans over and kisses her."
- A burlesque on the work of highwaymen in Chicago. An elderly gentleman is sandbagged and robbed by a thug, who inadvertently leaves some money on the victim's prostate body. A policeman happening along, takes the money and passes by without paying any attention to the plight of the victim.
- This view shows the arrival of the King of England at the royal wharf, where he is received by the assembled Sovereigns and Princes, including the Czar of Russia, the King of Denmark, the King of Greece, and others. An excellent view of the various noble personages by this film, which is of very high photographic value.
- "A remarkably fine picture photographically, showing a group of trained athletes pole vaulting at the Columbia Athletic Field. Five ten-foot vaults are included in the negative. This picture has been used with great success in reverse motion, the effect of the men leaping backward over the bar, and catching the pole in mid-air being extremely ludicrous."
- "Another exhibition by Prof. Leonidas' troop of cats and dogs. One of the dogs is shown stealing his dinner from the table in his master's absence. In order to cover his own crime, the dog places a cat on the table, where she is found when the master comes in. The master shoots the cat, and is promptly arrested by a large dog dressed in policeman's clothes."
- "In this view a couple of country lovers are seen spooning in the kitchen. The girl is making bread, and as she embraces the young man, she leaves the print of two flour-covered hands on his back. Amused at the result she completes the job, covering him from head to foot with flour."
- 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.
- "A portly clubman comes home after a social session considerably the worse for the wear. In the hall he encounters a suit of armor which has all the appearances of being alive; and he is so badly frightened that he collapses in a chair, where he is discovered by his wife, and marched off to bed."
- A combination of the picture entitled "The Ballet of the Ghosts," and a surf scene; the resulting effect being that the ghostly figures rise up out of the surf and come to the shore, cast their draperies aside and dance a few steps of the ballet, after which they again take up their draperies, and having covered themselves, retreat into the waves.
- "Taken during the land parade in honor of Admiral Dewey, just before the turn into 72nd street, with Grant's Tomb and decorated residences in the background. This entire series of pictures has a very high photographic quality, and the various organizations appear at their best."
- In this picture some very remarkable effects are obtained by the reversal of the motion of the negative. A man comes home, somewhat under the influence of liquor, and starts to remove his outer clothes. As fast as he removes each article and throws it from him, it immediately flies back, and when he is completely bewildered by this weird proceeding, His Satanic Majesty suddenly appears, and the man collapses.
- At the first news of the disast by cyclone and tidal wave that devastated Galveston on Saturday, September 8th, 1900, we equipped a party of photographers and sent them by special train to the scene of the ruins. Arriving at the scene of desolation shortly after the storm had swept over the city, our party succeeded, at the risk of life and limb, in taking about a thousand feet of motion pictures, although Galveston was under martial law and photographers were shot down at sight by the excited police. The series, taken as a whole, gives a definite idea of the most terrible disaster since the Johnstown flood of 1889. The pictures are copyrighted and fully protected by law. They are made from original negatives, taken at a great expense, and expressed to us immediately after they were taken, and are positively the only motion picture films secured while the city of Galveston was in a state of chaos. Showing dismantled cars, wrecked warehouses, schooners and tugs stranded on the docks, and the tents rigged up for the homeless.
- "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."
- Introduces the creator of the 'Foxy Grandpa' comic strip, and the lead characters.
- "A bill-poster is just completing a sign for a burlesque show. As he leaves, a chappie enters and stands in front of the board. One of the poster girls thereupon knocks his hat off; while the other gives him a kick and sends him sprawling to the ground."
- "Taken during the land parade in honor of Admiral Dewey, just before the turn into 72nd street, with Grant's Tomb and decorate residences in the background. This entire series has a very high photographic quality, and the various organizations appear at their best."
- "Two grotesque minstrels are seen playing beneath a fair lady's window. She appears, and encourages one of them. The disappointed minstrel thereupon kicks the favored suitor with such force that it lifts him up to the second story window, and into the arms of the lady. This effect is very cleverly worked out, and makes a very amusing situation."
- "A magnificent picture of the launching of the 'Oceanic,' which up to that time was the largest vessel ever floated. The view is taken from a pier out over the water; the vessel coming stern on towards the camera and passing it by. A tremendous wave is thrown among the spectators crowded at the side of the pier, and the great excitement prevailing is very evident in the picture."
