Niagara in Winter Dress (1909)

The great masses of ice present a delightfully cooling suggestion to the mind, for the most famous falls in the world are in the grip of the Ice King. The ice mountains formed at the base of the falls by the frozen mist tower over the ice pack, rising nearly to the height of a hundred feet, while the swift current flows beneath great masses of ice, over which the visitors to the Falls walk from side to side. The rapids above the Falls are fairly open because of the swiftness of the current, but below the cataract the ice is packed solidly save at the whirlpool, and the camera operator shows every aspect of the ice-bound current. As a scenic presentation the subject is a remarkable one, the toning of the film adding much to the pictorial effect. Several splendid panoramic effects are introduced and no phase of the river is overlooked.
