Three American Beauties
In this color-tinted short, we first see a close-up of a red rose, perfectly formed. Then, we see the rose held by a young woman who is wearing a bright yellow dress. She's the second beauty. Behind her is a slow dissolve to the US flag, tinted in red, white, and blue, blowing in the wind. Behind the flag is a star-lit sky.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a simple yet potent visual sequence, relying on the power of three symbolic shots. It explores early film techniques like hand-tinting and slow dissolves to create a seamless flow from natural to human to national beauty.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of pure, almost meditative contemplation of the medium's nascent possibilities. A concise study in patriotic iconography. — MovieFinder Editorial
