This is a test, only a test.
This film is a short sequence used to show off a brand new machine called a Kinetoscope.
There is no plot, no clichés, no hamming it up, no stereotypes, no awards, no acting, no directing, no writing, no producing, no nothing.
Commenting on this film like it was a feature with a script, actor, and director, or commenting on Dicksons acting is ridiculous.
He was an inventor not an actor.
Commenting on the movie industry, which didn't yet exist, is even more ridiculous.
They just wanted to welcome the people who viewed the film on the Kinetoscope. So they told Dickson, who helped invent the thing, to stand in front of the camera and bow and take off his hat. You know, like a greeting.
The reason that it was repeated 6 times is because it was only 3 seconds long.
None of this matters as it was only used to show off the machine, not the film.
I repeat, this is a test, only a test.
