- "This is one of the most successful cavalry charges ever shown in a moving picture. The entire regiment appears at first in the distance. The galloping horses speedily bring them into close view, and they dash by the camera at a furious pace, the sun gleaming on their sabres and their steel helmets and breast-plates. Several horses fall in the furious onslaught."
- The passing crowds on this great boulevard are always interesting to watch. Bicyclists, pedestrians, carriages and cabs whirl by in kaleidoscopic profusion. A steam train enters in the distance, marking its route with light puffs of steam. An interesting feature of the picture is the pool of water on the crossing in the foreground which causes temporary embarrassment to some of the ladies who are obliged to take long strides to step over same.

- "A tremendously impressive picture. At its opening a battery of six field guns is seen in action, the gun squads loading and firing with precision. In the distance a regiment of cuirassieurs is charging at full speed upon the battery. The artillerists continue to fire until the horsemen are fairly upon them, when they suddenly dodge beneath the guns and fire at their opponents with their small arms, the cavalry in the meantime, cutting and slashing wherever they see a head. Although this picture was not taken in actual combat, it has all the elements of realism in it."
- "An unusually fine marching picture of a French regiment of the line in heavy marching order. This picture is very fine photographically, and the men come so close to the camera that one gets a good idea of the equipment and make up of the French soldier."
- "This is a remarkable picture and has caused a great deal of favourable comment wherever it has been shown. When the picture opens, smoke is seen pouring from the windows of a hotel, and a battalion of Parisian firemen rush into the scene. Streams of water are quickly brought to bear on the fire and the work of rescue starts in. In the fourth story window a woman appears, shouting for help. With the aid of scaling ladders several men reach her, and she is let down in safety by means of a rope. The fire is in full blast by this time, and other rescues are effected. Ambulances and physicians have in the meantime arrived. The negative is quite long, as will be noted, but the interest is intense throughout."
- "A splendid picture showing this notable family of jugglers in their restaurant scene, in which they toss dishes and chairs about with marvelous dexterity."

- A long line of nurses pushing carts with their babies enter from the far right, cross a garden in front of the large nursery home, and leave by the close left to the camera.

- A marvelously clear picture taken from the top of the elevator of the Eiffel Tower during going up and coming down of the car. This wonderful tower is 1,000 feet in height, and the picture produces a most sensational effect. As the camera leaves the ground and rises to the top of the tower, the enormous white city opens out to the view of the astonished spectator. Arriving at the top of the tower, a bird's eye view of the Exposition looking toward the Trocadero, and also toward the Palace of Electricity, is made, and the camera begins its descent. The entire trip is shown on a 200-foot film.
- From a stationary camera, we see the base of the Eiffel Tower, a crowd walking in the foreground during the 1900 Paris Exposition. Behind the tower and to the left is a smokestack pouring out smoke. A man and a woman, each wearing a hat, walk in front of the camera and appear in silhouette. Except for the trail of smoke, the sky is clear.
- The scene opens at the Garde de Parre at the Paris Exposition Grounds, and shows a long stream of cars drawn by a typical French engine steaming into the station. The train comes to a stop and hundreds of doors of the European compartment cars are opened. The multitudes of people of all nationalities pour out and start with a rush for the main gate of the Exposition. This picture was secured on one of the big days at the great Paris show and an immense crowd is clearly depicted leaving the cars, some of which are double deckers and very unique in construction. This is a typical European train scene, and was secured under the most advantageous circumstances.

- This picture was taken from the stationary platform, showing the rapidly moving board walk on the outer edge, which has a speed of five miles per hour; also shows the middle platform moving two and a-half miles per hour, the third platform being stationary. At intervals there are upright posts to steady passengers from one platform to the other. By watching these uprights passing by the camera and passing each other, a good idea of the speed is obtained. The structure is crowded with passengers, some gliding by, standing still, others walking and running and stepping from one platform to the other.
