“Children of Eve” adopta un enfoque melodramático en el que describe los eventos inspirados en el incendio de la fábrica Triangle Shirtwaist de 1911. La película exige reformas a las condiciones de trabajo y presenta impactantes representaciones de la vida dentro de la fábrica. La película es también una rara oportunidad de ver el profesionalismo del director John Collins, quien trabajó para la compañía Edison y - como señala Richard Koszarski - fue considerado como uno de los grandes cineastas de su tiempo antes de que su vida fue trágicamente truncada por la la epidemia de influenza en 1918.

Bess
A comic sketch that features two players who think each one is deaf, causing them to shout. Part of the Edison Kinetophone Collection. The Kinetophone was a fairly complex mechanical means of creating talking pictures. Unlike previous systems, in which actors would be required to lip sync to preexisting recordings on camera, the Kinetophone was one of the earliest film technologies to record sound at the same time as the image.
