“This is a very fine set to illustrate the well-known poem of Longfellow. After an introductory slide showing a portrait of Longfellow and a view of his birthplace, we see that ' Under a spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands,' the blacksmith at work, doorway of the smithy, two views of the interior of a village church, with two effect slides, finishing up with the interior of blacksmith's cottage, also with an effect slide.”
