Review of The Martyred Presidents

I would like to nominate "The Martyred Presidents" for the award for the Worst Use of New Technology. This is because although motion pictures had been around for about a decade, this 'film' is pretty much a slide show that's been put on film! This is nuts! The film simply consists of two scenes--neither of which have any real action of any sort. The first shows a giant fancified headstone with the statue of a mourner on the steps leading up to it (this style was quite popular in the 19th century). Then, VERY slowly, the portraits for the three assassinated US presidents to that date were projected on the headstone (Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, if you care). Then, in the next scene, someone is bowed down at the feet of the statue of justice. I have no idea if this is a mourner, a metaphor, John Wilkes Booth (the fink who killed Lincoln), Charles Giteau (the crazy guy who iced Garfield), Leon Czolgosz (the anarchist who shot McKinley) or just some random knucklehead. What a terrible and boring use of film stock!!
