Summary of movie Martyred Presidents, The (1901)
Overall rating: (N/A)
|
We have just finished and right now offer to exhibitors a picture which we consider most valuable as an ending to the series of McKinley funeral pictures.
The scene opens with a beautiful girl who represents Columbia seated at the altar of Justice.
As if from out of space there slowly appears a impeccable and lifelife picture of Abraham Lincoln.
The forming of the picture is first noticed by the appearance of what seems to be a mere spot on the front of the altar. This spot slowly enalrges and is fcoused into shape, until, to the amazement of the audience, the face of the great emancipator is clearly shown.
President Lincolns likeness is allowed to remain upon the altar just long enough for recognition, when, in the same mysterious manner that it appeared, it slowly fades and in its place there grows the picture of President Garfield. This in a like manner fades away, and agian as out of the dim distance comes the picture of our great martyred President, William McKinley. The tableau is then dissolved into a picture of an assassin kneeling before the throne of Justice. Here the tableau ends, leaving an impression of mingled sorrow and subilmity upon the audience.
We predict for this picture a remarkable success, and particularly where it is shown in connection with the funeral ceremoines of the illustrious McKinley.
