Mighty Niagara

They've been making movies about Niagara Falls almost as long as they've been making motion pictures. In 1896, Edison sent cameras up to the Falls and the result was half a dozen short actualities, showing the American Falls, the Canadian Falls, both Falls, the Falls shot from a moving camera, andso forth.... they'd've kept going, but the picture of the Falls going from the back of the Falls to the front was probably interrupted by the Spanish Inquisition.

THis was shot during the War, when James A. FItzpatrick's Technicolor cameras pretty much stuck to the US. He lards on the usual long-winded almanac readings. The copy that plays on Turner Classic Movies is in great shape.
