At Brighton

Biograph summary: A very amusing sketch of life at England's great popular seaside resort. A Coster family are eating their luncheon on the sand, and are interrupted by various peddlers, until finally they begin to get into a quarrel with the Hokey-Pokey man who is attacked by the entire crowd and his wares scattered over the beach. The family then decide to go for a sail; they are first shown embarking on a small fishing schooner, then afterward at sea pitching and tossing in a heavy swell. This scene is particularly effective and very amusing, because the entire family are seasick, and to all appearance their seasickness is genuine. The finish of the picture shows their arrival on shore where they are carried out of the boat, most of them in a state of collapse. This subject is very clear photographically, and quite different from the usual seashore scenes.
