Featured review
Shriners march with precision in military formations on the beach at Atlantic City with one of the piers in the background. I think I see a horse on the pier. It may be the famous diving horse.
According to my sources, Alfred Camille Abadie, who shot this movie, was born in 1878, joined Edison and worked for James White. Fortunately, he immediately forgot everything White might have taught him, because this movie actually shows the Shriners, instead of the backs of the surrounding crowds, the sand on the beach or the Atlantic City Pier, as White would have. Well done!
Abadie is supposed to have played the sheriff in Porter's THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, shot other documentaries for Edison around the world, then eventually left to become an independent film maker. He died in 1950.
