Another Job for the Undertaker (1901)
Shows a bedroom in a hotel. On the wall of the room is a conspicuous sign “Don’t blow out the gas.” A hayseed enters the room, accompanied by a bellboy. The boy deposits the Rube’s bag and umbrella, turns a somersault, and vanishes through the door. The Rube then removes his hat and coat and places them upon the table. They immediately vanish. He then blows out the gas. The scene then instantly changes to a funeral procession, headed by Reuben’s hearse, and followed by the carriages of his country friends. Strictly up-to-date picture. (Edison Catalog, 1901)

Japanese Village (1901)
One of the most fascinating exhibits on the Midway at the Pan-American Exposition is the Japanese Village. This space occupies about one and one-half acres of ground. It is dotted with pretty miniature lakes, the famous Japanese circle bridges, groves, tea houses, etc. We secured an excellent picture of this village while a troupe of Japanese acrobats were performing. The acrobats themselves are in the foreground of the picture and form the principal feature. The entire length of the film is replete with difficult acrobatic tricks, performed by one of the most skilled troupes in the world. (Edison Catalog)
