Title in Edison films catalog: Naval sham battle at Newport Naval Training School
CREATED/PUBLISHED
United States : Edison Manufacturing Co., 1900.
SUMMARY
From Edison films catalog: Showing the attacking forces drawn up in line of battle. They immediately commence firing on the shore batteries. The batteries return the fire with telling effect, but are at last silenced by the overwhelming forces of the enemy. In the distance can be seen the ruins of a bridge destroyed by the invading forces. The smoke thickens as the firing becomes general, and the effect is superb. This picture is full of action, also thrilling and very exciting, and every detail is brought out clearly and distinctly. 100 feet. $15.00.
