The Condenser Bijou Theatre Presents "The Enchanted Drawing" (1900)

J. Stuart Blackton directs and stars in this week's feature, considered to be one of the first films to use animation. Before he was a director Blackton was in vaudeville, performing under the name the "Komikal Kartoonist", where he would draw up "lightning sketches". The camera adds a fantastic twist to Blackton's vaudeville talent. I guess you can say he started a movement.
