Is it fun though?

 

Fun in Camp (1899)


Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. Kids riding bears rock up at an army camp during the Spanish-American War.


Looking staged this is a piece of early propaganda film. As entertaining as kids on bears is this is not exactly the best of early cinema. I suspect this short is not the most historically significant of the Edison catalogue.


2/5
