Movin' Pitchers (1913)
The opening scene shows the boys looking and listening at a knot-hole in the high fence surrounding the yard of a moving-picture plant. A flash shows the making of a picture in the yard where the actors are real and the incidents thrilling. The youngsters are bent upon taking a peep and catching the secret of success in a mere glance. Two boys fight for the knot-hole at the fence, while the girls and others climb on the back of a pony and stand looking over into the arena of action. The Wild West in the yard has grown so realistic that an awkward cowboy bangs into the cameraman and musses things up generally. The director is raving when the cameraman comes on the scene, re-threads his machine, showing the mechanism off. Then the scene reverts to the open in the realm of childhood and all the previous scenes are reenacted by the children. "No pent-up Utica is theirs," so they proceed to roam noisily and fiercely over the village, frightening horses and raising much disturbance, finally locating in front of the residence of a man who has the gout, much to that gentleman's discomfiture.
