An Early, Interesting Feature in the Popular Series

This was one of the earliest of the many 1890s movies that featured Annabelle (Whitford) Moore performing her popular dance routines, and it is still interesting enough to be worth watching. The distinctive costume in this one sets it apart a bit from most of the other movies in the series.

The "Butterfly Dance" is really a routine very similar to her popular "Serpentine Dance", but for this butterfly routine, her costume has a large pair of wings attached at the back, which along with her flowing skirts are used to create an effect. As in all of her features, Annabelle dances with skill and energy.

It's no surprise that these features were so popular in their day. By present-day standards, they are much tamer, but they still have their artistic value.
