- DirectorWilliam K.L. DicksonStarsWilliam K.L. DicksonOne of the pictures to be seen in the machine, for example, was that of a blacksmith shop in which two men were working, one shoeing a horse, the other heating iron at the forge. One would be seen to drive the nail into the shoe of the horse's hoof, to change his position and every movement needed in the work was clearly shown as if the object was in real (life). In fact, the whole routine of the two men's labour and their movements for the day was presented to the view of the observer.

- DirectorWilliam K.L. Dickson"Two men engaged in wrestling are shown in one of the series of illustrations that accompany the kinetoscope. They were photographed in the 'Black Maria' by the kinetograph and the kinetoscope portrays the whole bout from beginning to end with every move that the wrestlers made. As the struggle carried them about over considerable space they were placed at quite a distance from the camera...By Petit and Kessler."

- DirectorWilliam K.L. DicksonStarsWilliam K.L. DicksonThe earliest extant sound film. William K.L. Dickson stands in the background next to a huge sound pickup horn connected to a Thomas Edison phonograph recorder. As he plays a violin, two men dance in the foreground. This film was made to demonstrate a new Thomas Edison machine, the Kinetophone. These machines were Kinetoscope peepshow viewers mated with Thomas Edison wax cylinder phonographs. But the Kinetophone never caught on and this film was never released. The film still exists, but the phonograph soundtrack has been lost.
