16mm 1.37:1 black & white with color tint silent 18fps, 6:07 minutes; completed by Lawrence Jordan; new music vintage circus organ; courtesy of Lawrence Jordan.

Thought provoking and offensive are possible ways to interpret the ten optical discs and corresponding puns displayed in the film.

It was partly the architectural wonder of New York that made the film so stirring, but, really, it was the artist's touch that moved one, the catching of mood, line, color, and feeling in the strange, walled city.-_Marguerite Tazelaar_

The sensation of our own movement and the perception of movement in the world around us are very primal experiences from early infancy. It is in this world of movement (the kinesthetic experience) that film and dance make their most exciting and unique contributions. -_Hilary Harris_

Equally exhilarating in his novel approach to snap images quickly on the run, a method he inaugurated and that continues to the present day.

Smith._Game Little Gladys, The Gardner's Son; Princess Printemps_and_The Aging Balletomane_. Delightful and sentimental, the interludes date back to silent cinema full of playful mime and dreamy reverie. As such the vignettes offer a welcome antidote to the high-mindedness of most avant-garde films.
