Special Thanks to TigerRocket August 13 1903. Edison Manufacturing Co. Filmed at Coney Island and Edison's 21st Street studio in New York, New York Direction & cinematography by Edwin S. Porter August in New York is always hot, making the water rides like 'Shoot the Chutes' one of the more popular rides at Coney. For those who like their water rides a bit more subdued there's always the canal (1:00). And for folks who like a good pile-up, a swift slide down the bamboo 'Helter Skelter' is a good way to meet others. Then there's the Honky-Tonk of the Bowery! The Barkers on the Bowery Midway like it when people get together too! The ballyhoo never stops. ''Step right this way and see 'Little Egypt' do an exotic belly dance! She learned her gyrations well from years of handing snakes...Gentlemen step right this way! Only 10¢, Step right this way!'' Rube thinks the invite enticing but Mandy doesn't think so. Feats of strength, that's the deal. ''Knock it hard and bang the gong. Show 'em what ya got! Win a Cee-Garrr!'' Mandy has more than Rube in the muscle department. If she didn't then he'd be watching an edifying belly dance right now. She also has better coordination too! BANG! 400! Not enough for a cigar though. Rube can barely lift the mallet, so he gives it a reluctant but valiant try anyway. SWISH KLUNK! Must have been the beer we didn't see him consume. They both seem a little inebriated. All of the excitement has these two hungry for something to eat and nothing's better than a couple of frankfurters...Hot Dogs...Red Hots...Coney Island Caviar! What a Gal! What a Rube! What a day!
