- DirectorJ. Stuart BlacktonAlbert E. SmithA reel of mirth-provoking stunts that will draw the pennies from the children, but which is of much interest to young and old alike. It opens with a crowd of children leaving school and marching through the streets to the "Humpty Dumpty Circus." We see them crowd into the tent and at the end of each act they vociferously applaud the performers These are the little wooden toys that are familiar to all, and which are made to perform all the usual acrobatic stunts of the circus performer in a remarkably realistic manner. Some of the scenes are really comical and it is hard to believe that the elephants and donkeys are not alive.

- DirectorWalter R. BoothMephistopholes causes an artist's model to disappear.
- Numerous pictures have been made of lightning sketch artists and kindred pictures, but this film is entirely different from any ever attempted. An artist appears and proceeds to draw the face of a boy on the canvas. He no sooner draws the outline, than the face assumes life and makes grimaces at everybody. Our artist proceeds to draw a bottle of wine, a glass and a cigar which he takes from the canvas and makes use of in the "good old way." The face on the canvas takes exception to the treatment received at the hands of the artist and shows his displeasure by performing somersaults on the canvas; each time he turns he presents a different face. It will puzzle you to figure out how this is done and you will be free to admit that this is the best picture of its kind you ever saw. There is nothing objectionable in it; you can show it anywhere.

Nothing vulgar or offensive, and of excellent quality.

- DirectorJ. Stuart BlacktonStarsJ. Stuart BlacktonThe pen draws sketches which change themselves slowly. First, Napoleon is drawn, this evolves into Emperor William, who in turn changes to King Edward, wearing a silk hat and smoking a cigar. This turns into a fine likeness of the Father of Our Country, George Washington. Then the smoking lamp on a pedestal changes itself into a young lady in one of the new-style dresses and a large hat. Then there is a warning to engaged couples; the dude and his girl have the kissing habit and finally turn into a pair of ducks. Then a flower pot is drawn and a little package of seeds. The seeds fall into the flower pot, a watering can is drawn, then raises up and the water pours out and sprinkles the earth in the pot. The sun comes out and its rays cause the seeds to sprout and in a few seconds a beautiful lily is grown. The last sketch is just a circle, which changes shape until it becomes a picture of Bridget, the kitchen queen. The features then undergo a series of wonderful changes and, although it remains a complete picture throughout, finally turns into a society queen wearing a fashionable peach basket hat.

- DirectorÉmile CohlStarsChristiane MandelysMaurice VinotDon Quixote, the Knight of the Sorrowful Figure, is seen in his well-stocked library, deeply engrossed in reading Tales of Chivalry. So enthralled is he that his meals are forgotten and visitors unnoticed. He decides to renew the exploits of feudal days and persuades a fat, thick set countryman. Sancho Panza by name, to follow him as a squire. They prepare armor for the knight, using a brass shaving basin for a helmet. They secure their steeds, namely; for Don Quixote an old rawboned animal, to which the knight gives the name of "Rozinante," and for Sancho, a little long-eared donkey, which staggers under his ponderous burden. The departure of the immortal knight and his squire is most grotesque, showing two types of human nature contrasted strongly even on the silent stage. The film depicts their travels among the most picturesque of scenes. While imagining that every object he sees is worthy of knightly service, the old man performs many ludicrous exploits. The main action is presumably allegorical, but introduces numerous episodes of bucolic or pastoral kind, as well as many pictures of Spanish life and much promiscuous adventure. Attempting to free slaves, the Don is beaten by them. Aspiring to be knighted, he is made sport of by an old inn-keeper, whom he mistakes for a king. Attempting to overcome a windmill, which he supposes to be a giant, he gets entangled in the sails and is badly hurt in the encounter. His faithful squire carefully brings Don Quixote back to his old home, where, broken in spirit, and grieved at his experiences and surrounded by his relatives the poor old fellow dies.
