This film from 1907 is sadly incomplete as it's only available in a two-minute fragment. The opening title card explains that a painter has just finished his work when his assistant comes in and accidentally drinks varnish. The film then picks up as the painter goes haywire and sends the assistant into the painting.

Em uma escola medieval, um velho astrônomo começa a ensinar uma classe de jovens, todos armados com telescópios, sobre a arte de examinar um eclipse iminente. Quando um relógio mecânico bate meia-noite, todos os jovens correm para as janelas e fixam seus telescópios no céu.
Chief Bandit
A man is murdered and the killer brought to justice by guillotine. This film is partly lost.
