I removed the following unsourced text from article. If anyone can provide a source it can be readded.

• The film runs 34 seconds—presently a mystery, as at the time it was made, the Edison-Dickson Kinetograph camera with which it was shot could supposedly take films no longer than 20 seconds in length, even running at its slowest speed.
• In the early days of cinema, directors typically recorded everyday events such as the arrival of ships or workers leaving a factory. These short films were called "actualities." Later, with the advent of better equipment (which could record for longer), directors began to introduce more complicated narratives into film.
