Contrary to the entire story's plot, 'The New York Times' reported that Lincoln's short speech was interrupted by applause five times and greeted with "long continued applause" at its conclusion.

Some remarks for the occasion

Frank McGlyn who usually played Abraham Lincoln in so many films must have been busy so MGM took the highly unusual step of hiring burlesque comedian Chic Sale who was playing many grandfatherly types in his declining years as Lincoln. Sale does a restrained and dignified portrayal of Lincoln.

The short subject is in two parts first with Lincoln riding on the train to Gettysburg trying to compose a few short remarks for the occasion. He's with Edward Everett the main speaker and his Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.

The scene then cuts to Lincoln visiting a hospital where he reads those remarks to a blind and dying southern soldier.

The Perfect Tribute was a well acted short subject from MGM.
