- This scene shows the arrival at a station, and passengers alighting from and boarding the train, together with the usual bustling activity of the baggage men.
- Walking four abreast, in groups of six rows, 144 of Chicago's finest parade past a stationary camera. Each of the six groups that pass is escorted by an officer. All are men, all are white, all look tall, all wear identical high-buttoned uniforms and badges and carry a nightstick. Almost all sport mustaches. Behind the police comes a horse-drawn carriage.
- "Shows a large flock of sheep being driven from the cars to the slaughter house."
- At the Armour & Co. Chicago yard. Two railroad tracks dominate the center and right half of the frame as we look down about 40 meters where an overpass crosses. Along the left beside the tracks is a nondescript industrial building. Men are standing between the building and the tracks as an engine slowly approaches the foreground. A man crosses just in front of it. It moves slowly past, the engine pulling 15 or 20 small cars. The first set of cars behind the small engine are flatcars, loaded with goods, three workmen riding with them. The back set are small boxcars, each riding on one set of wheels. The trolley passes.
- "The busiest corner in Chicago. Cable cars and street traffic of all descriptions. Hundreds of shoppers. Fine perspective view looking north toward the Masonic Temple."
- In the Chicago stockyards, the gates of a pen of long-horn cattle are open and the cattle are being herded out by several cowhands, at least two of whom have poles to keep the steers moving in the right direction. The cattle come toward the stationary camera, which is mounted above their path. They proceed under, toward a destination we do not see. There are probably 50 head in the lot. When the last has left, a solitary cowhand surveys the empty pen. Over the fence behind him stand two other cowboys.
- "A view in front of one of the big department stores on State Street".
- "Taken in the yards of Swift & Co. Some of the delivery wagons are seen leaving the stores, and as one of them goes out, a thief skillfully abstracts a ham from the back end of the cart. He is seen, however, by the watchman of the yard, and after a short pursuit is captured and arrested."
- "7th Regiment, Illinois National Guard; State Street, Chicago."
- "This is an arranged scene worked out very effectively. At its opening two rowdies are seen engaged in a street fight. A crowd collects, and a policeman with difficulty separates the combatants. They are quickly subdued, however, and a police patrol dashes up, and into it the two prisoners are bundled and carried off."
- "A scene in Swift & Co.'s stock-yard, showing the stock-yard 'matadors' amusing themselves with a wild steer."
- "This is a rather unusual railroad picture in that it is taken from the front of one moving train while five other trains, all under rapid headway, go through the picture on different tracks."
- "A marching picture in which many notables in the regular Democratic organization of Chicago appear."
- Footage of a parade in Chicago of Union Army veterans of the American Civil War.
- Taken from an automobile, showing the most beautiful part of the park, in the vicinity of the Lincoln statue.
- Shows a fine view of the ceremonies of the corner stone laying of the new Chicago Post Office on Chicago Day, October 9th. This view is a very fine picture of President McKinley and the entire Cabinet and Diplomatic Corps.
- Chicago's finest out on parade; 2,400 strong, 3 full military bands; shows all the great leaders in front; fine body of drilled men, most of whom are over six feet; all in command of that great Chief of Police, Joe Ripley. This picture also shows the famous Police Artillery and Ambulance Corps.

- With the exception of this film there are absolutely no genuine moving picture films representing genuine prize fights on the market. The prize fight films, so-called, are either taken by the fight promoters and retained by them for exhibition, not on sale and cannot be procured, or else they are the boldest fake reproductions put up the day following the fight by cheap, so-called fighters, who endeavor, to the best of their ability and under the direction of the enterprising photographer, to represent or reproduce as nearly as possible the scrap which occured the evening before between the genuine principles. It is easy to see how very little real value films produced in these ways possess for the average public, which quick to see that the so-called priniples in the fight are not the men they are advertised to be, and the fight is not the real thing. This is not only a genuine picture taken while the fight was in actual progress, but the only picture of the kind which can be procured, and the only film which represented the Brooklyn Terror, Terrence McGovern, actually engaged in one of his most famous fights. All of our patrons do not approve of prize fights, but all must admit that no subject shows such wonderful spirit, motion, life and action as a genuine prize fight, and the enormous popularity which these films have enjoyed justifies our patrons in investing in a set of them. The Gans-McGovern fight took place in Chicago in the month of November, 1900. The enormous arena was brilliantly lighted by over 600 electric arcs, making the scene as bright as day, and every detail from figures to the remotest corner of the auditorium, as well as the prize ring itself, is accurately and truthfully depicted in this wonderful film. The complete set embraces 600 feet of film, shows all the preliminaries of the fight, the care of the principals by their seconds and two rounds of as fast and furious fighting as was ever seen in the prize ring. McGovern pursued his usual tactics, went in to knock out his opponent without delay, and as Gans was clever on his part, one of the most brilliant and wonderful exhibitions of sparring ever witnesses was caught by our camera and is here reproduced for the benefit of our patrons.
- This film was taken at the great Chicago encampment of the G.A.R., 1901. All agree that outside of the veterans themselves no point of interest compared to the grand Court of Honor extending for one mile. A special permit was obtained, the street was cleared and our artist succeeded in obtaining, from a rapidly moving automobile, a panorama of the entire Court on both sides of the street, presenting a picture of unsurpassed beauty, and one which will be of interest in G.A.R. circles to the end of time. This is the only picture in existence of the entire Court of Honor.
- These three films [with LAFAYETTE POST OF NEW YORK and COLUMBIA POST] were taken at the encampment of the G.A.R. in Chicago, 1901. They can be used as one complete series or run separately. They form the three leading features of the G.A.R. parade the first owing to the fact it held the post of honor, the second because it was the largest and best dressed, and the latter because it created a great deal of comment owing to the fact that it was headed by a little lamb led by a beautiful child in white. This was the finest G.A.R. parade ever held and pictures from it are of more than ordinary interest, for the veterans will never again congregate in such numbers or engage in such an extended parade as upon this occasion.
