Cripple Creek Floats
Taken at Denver, Col., at the Festival of Mountain and Plain, at the same point as the above mentioned films, with the same background. The film opens disclosing a large float, representing an immense rock, across the center of which has been painted a representation of running water. The front of the float shows the opening of a mine, in front of which are standing several miners. The first float is followed by another, drawn by four black horses, each horse being led by a groom in a long flowing gown. This float represents the shaft or entrance to a mine. It is beautifully decorated with flowers, and on either corner is a pedestal, each surrounded by a young girl, while high up on the centre of the float another young girl sits in state. The conception is most unique, and the effects produced are remarkably fine. The film is sharp, and the objects and the effects produced are remarkably fine. The film is sharp, and the objects come well in the foreground, showing life size.

James H. White, who is in the city representing the Edison kinetoscope, was driven over the line of march on Sunday and was greatly pleased with it. The directors will erect a stand for him and his instruments at Colfax and Broadway. It is his intention to take if possible views of the masked ball, which occurs the second evening, the night parade of the Silver Serpents and views of their ball. The views of both day and night scenes will be sent all over the world and will be a great advertisement for the city and state. |
