Group of films from director James White, which according to the liner notes of the set were the first foreign films to be sold to U.S. markets. For their time these films have more flair than most of the film of their era due to the director keeping the camera moving, which still wasn't normal for 1900. Those interested in how Paris looked back in the day would certainly be interested in these.
