- A cleverly conceived picture of a little boy and girl with building blocks. The little girl has erected a pretty structure, which the boy proceeds to demolish with pokes of his fingers. When the demolition of the house is completed, the film is shown in reverse, and the little building comes back to its original form in a most marvellous manner.
- A humorous subject intended to be run as a part of a railroad scene during the period in which the train is passing through a tunnel.
- An elderly gentleman in a silk hat sits on a stool in front of a store on the main street of town. He has a telescope that he focuses on the ankle of a young woman who is a short distance away. Her husband catches the gent looking. What will the two men now do?

- Suffragette takes over a gentleman's barber shop.

- An old man gets progressively livelier - and drunker - as he downs his bottle of beer. Finally, he cocks a snook - and doesn't bother to uncock it as he continues to drink.
- In front of a flour mill, two men fight. One is the miller, and he's swinging a bag of flour in the scuffle. The other is a chimney sweep, and he's swinging what may be a bag of flour, but when it breaks open, it's clearly something else. Well into the havoc, spectators gather and give chase to the flour-covered sweep and the "well-sooted" miller.
- Children playing at "doctors" with the kitten in a cradle as patient. When the medicine is administered a magnified view of the kitten's head is shown, the manner in which the little animal receives its dose (of milk) is from a spoon.
- Photographer tries to take a picture of a ghost, but it won't keep still and then vanishes.
- An early POV experiment from Smith featuring two large spiders crawling.
- The ghost of a man's twin shows him a vision of how he was killed in a duel.
- Tramp hired to beat the carpet accidentally beats the housewife.
- A picture true to life, and a most excellent subject. Poor old grandma is seated in her chair, vainly attempting to engage a thread in the eye of the needle. The facial contortions that are engaged in are ludicrous to say the least. The needle is finally threaded, and the happy contented look that comes over the face of grandma is a most pleasing ending of the picture.

- Eight scenes: Girl dreams of Dick Whittington, Robinson Crusoe, Forty Thieves, Aladdin, Cinderella, Bluebeard and Red Riding Hood.
- 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.

- A conjurer vanishes a girl and produces kittens from a handkerchief.
- This is one of the greatest comic films ever placed on the market. Two well-fed and prosperous looking old gentlemen are examining, with great interest, an illustrated theatrical paper, which apparently recalls reminiscences of bygone days, and the humorous nature of their conversation, is indicated by the amused look on their faces, and their thorough enjoyment of the theme. The facial expression and gesture revealed by this film, is a most wonderful revelation of the art of moving picture photography, and the comic effect is so hearty and infectious that your audience will laugh with you. This film is a new one and has made the greatest hit of the season.
