The two titles are President McKinley Taking the Oath and President McKinley and Escort Going to the Capitol.

Both were produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company, under the direction of Thomas Edison ^{[citation needed]}, and in 2000 the United States Library of Congress deemed the two "culturally significant" and selected them for preservation in the National Film Registry.[1][2]

Production

Edison's crew shot the films on location on March 4, 1901 and released their footage less than two weeks later. The notes stated they had a camera and were "within twenty feet of the President's carriage when it passed," giving the general public an unprecedentedly intimate view of a United States President. The crew captured their images on several campers placed on rudimentary tripods that made it difficult to pan or tilt while filming.[3]

Release

Press accounts described the film receiving "great applause" and causing "pandemonium" during its screenings.[3]
