Synopsis: [From Selig Polyscope promotional materials] This is the name of the most famous marching club in the United States, regardless of party, and is justly considered the finest; and we wish to say that we have the finest and best and only picture in existence of this great body of well-drilled men; great picture to create enthusiasm among Democrats, and bound to please Republicans, owing to the fact that it is a picture of a perfectly drilled body of men lead by the well-known Capt. James Farrell.
