This film was made by a Hearst-Selig camera man after he had received a special permit from the French Government. An occasional shell was still falling among the ruins when the intrepid operator began cranking his machine. One section of the film shows a falling wall caused by the bursting of a 25-pound shell within a half block of the operator. The early press reports, to the effect that the Cathedral had been destroyed by the bombardment, are belied by the pictures which show that the Cathedral suffered comparatively little from the bursting shells. War section concludes with actual firing-line scenes showing Belgian artillery in action on the outskirts of Antwerp and refugees fleeing toward the city. Among the interesting domestic scenes are the motor boat race on Lake Erie, when Disturber IV broke the world's record; the launching of the Great Northern coastwise steamship at Cramp shipyards, Philadelphia, which is an exceptional picture in view of the fact that the boat strikes the water on the side and narrowly misses capsizing; New York physicians, including a woman surgeon, sailing for the war zone, and election scenes throughout the country which includes pictures of Governor Glynn and Col. Roosevelt. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
