LEAPING DOGS AT GENTRY'S CIRCUS

Directed by J. Stuart Blackton, Albert E. Smith

1901 / 2min

In the center of the ring the trainer forms a pile of baskets many feet in height. Greyhounds leap in rapid succession, forming a graceful arch and landing on the ground as lightly as so many feathers. The position of the camera was a most happy one, as the dogs appeared to leap directly toward the audience and the film is both beautiful and exciting.
