stage filled in the gaps of action.
The title of this first photodrama was "Miss Jerry." Blanche. Bayliss played the title role. William Courteney was the hero and Ernest Hastings the villain, and. "Miss Jerry" was a full evening's enter tainment, in present motion picture parlance, "feature length." Its pre- view showing at the Carbon Studio on the night of October 9, 1894, was accompanied with elaborate musical John Haytt accompaniment by Brewer, composer.
