[EccentricEther]

Maybe not.

Women having a role part in plays (or in this case, movies) was controversial in Victorian times and before.

[kr3ml]

lol, amazing stuff, very good effect work for that time, first of a kind... love watching the very early cinema.

[Grammarman1]

The overwhelming amount of consequence-free violence in the media is one of Edison's lesser known inventions.

[KawhackitaRag]

@Grammarman1 can I quote you on that? To whom should I attribute this quote?

[Yellow2004Mustang]

Shes stomping the waiter...wow this is too violent for me.

Edison invented the light bulb, the phonograph and the movie projector. Tesla invented the 20th century.

[Amiduffer]

Still amusing even after a century.

Early stop shot I suppose, a brilliantly simple method for amateur / low budget filmeteers even now.

[Geist666]
