- The scheme of the tale is very prettily unfolded at the start. Two pretty little children, a boy and a girl, are seen playing in front of their home. Their innocent pastime turns into a merry dance, in the midst of which the mother appears and soundly thrashes the boy on account of some duty left unperformed. The little ones are then banished to the woods in search of fuel, and then their troubles begin. Becoming lost in the forest they fall asleep beneath an old tree, and there a good witch pays them an unsuspected visit. She scatters a magic powder, and dainty fairies dance around the sleeping innocents. Finally the two children awaken, only to wander deeper into the forest. They meet old Mrs. Bear, who with more cordiality than sincerity offers them a temporary abode. They give a reluctant assent, and then Mrs. Bear goes into the woods to gather fagots in order that she may properly "roast them for dinner." The boy becomes suspicious, and affects his escape from the house. Just as he rescues his sister and the two are about to flee from the dreaded place, their parents rush upon the scene, and there is a happy reunion.
- From the front of a cable car, a motion picture camera records a trip down Market Street, San Francisco, California, from a point between 8th & 9th Streets, Eastward to the cable car turnaround at the Ferry Building.
- A chef's rival for a maid is baked in an oven and shrunk.
- An escaped lunatic kills a woman, strangles a railway passenger, climbs a building, and is caught by a sailor.
- A young girl reads an ad in the newspaper and enthusiastically shows it to a young man, who cares for her. She leaves on the train; the young man gives her a carrier pigeon. At the end of the journey, she meets with a lady, who takes her to her house. The girl is given an evening dress and taken to a salon filled with revelers. She fights off their advances and is locked in her room. Realizing that she has ended up in a brothel, she sends off the pigeon with a message. The young man gets the message and arrives at the brothel with the police. He takes the girl away with him, but after the police have left, the remaining revelers cheerfully continue their debaucheries.
- A boy dreams of pranks he will play on the morrow.
- Kennicott Glacier is rightfully entitled to be called the eighth wonder of the world. When a railroad is built within its vicinity, thousands of tourists will visit it annually. All phases and stages of ice-formation are here shown, and in our view of the Pot Hole we show the birth of the Kennicott River, a wide, rushing, unfordable stream, that springs seemingly from the bowels of the earth at the foot of the Moraine at the end of the glacier.
- A fairy helps a knight save a princess from an ogre, a witch and a dwarf.
- After the first round the action is rapid, the men fighting fast, with Herman making wild swings and rushes, losing his head often. Gans is careful and alert, punishing his smaller opponent unmercifully in the sixth and seventh rounds. In the eighth the "knock out" occurs. This takes place in Gans' corners, caused by a right-hand blow to Herman's jaw, and when notified in advance by Humphreys of what was coming no one missed it. The after scenes, with Herman insensible, the crowd surging in the ring and the sheriff ordering the building cleared ended the exhibition.
- Here we show dog teams, sleds, school children, miners, prospectors, sports, camp followers and loafers on McKinlet Street, Valdez. The snow has just become packed, and the men with their dog teams, and their "best girls" turn out in numbers, while those not so fortunate as to have "best girls" in that far north, take their amusement in the form of pelting each other with snowballs. Finely illustrative of one phase of life in the Northwest.
- Valdez is the headquarters for the rich Copper River country that lies in the Eastern part of the great Alaskan Northwest. The only means of transporting supplies to this district is by pack train, or on the backs of men and dogs. This view shows a heavily laden pack train in charge of long haired Western cowboy packers passing up the main street of Valdez, Alaska, bound for the Bonanza and Nicoli Copper Mines. A most typical scene.
- Located in the Willamette River, near Portland, Ore., these falls are seen and admired through the car windows of the Southern Pacific railway trains. Ours is a close view, made from one of the numerous mills that get their power from Mother Nature at this point.
- The Treadwell Mine, situated on Douglas Island, Alaska, is the largest gold mine in the world. With an inexhaustible supply of ore, it has produced millions of dollars annually, and will continue to do so for years. The view shows men running to seek shelter from flying debris, then the masses of rock hurled out from across what is known as the "Glory Hole," which is an excavation a mile square and a quarter of a mile deep.
- Never has there been made a scenic moving picture that will hold the attention of every one like this subject. Miles Canyon in the Upper Yukon is a box canyon that narrows the river from a quarter of a mile wide, down to 60 feet. It has a drop of 18 feet in a mile and a quarter, and a current of 16 miles an hour. The scows going through the dangerous stretch of water must be steered by large sweeps from front and back, each sweep handled by two men. Our camera was so placed as to show the front sweepers constantly in action, and at the same time to show the rushing, whirling waters striking the black frowning basalt walls and by them dashed back to the center of the current, making a veritable Whirlpool Rapids, which can be navigated in safety only by the most experienced pilots. This is without doubt one of the greatest interest sustaining subjects of natural scenery ever made.
- There are women and children a-plenty in Dawson, and where you find women and children, you find excursions, balls, parties, picnics, and things to amuse. This picture shows the steamer "Susie" with a gay crowd of excursionists, backing away from the Dawson Wharf and then passing under a full head of steam, bound for the Siwash Indian village of Moosehide.
- A drunkard's mishaps taking a bottle of wine to his wife.
