The students from a young ladies' school enjoy A WINTER STRAW RIDE through the snowy countryside, eventually exacting revenge upon the young gentlemen who pelted them with snowballs.
This little film, from the Edison Manufacturing Company, is a very amusing look back at an innocent bygone era. Notice how the girls manage to fall decorously out of the wagons whenever the camera is pointed their way. That camera was under the co-direction of the celebrated Edwin S. Porter, one of the great names in early cinema history.
Al Kryszak provided the score for the video compilation A Christmas Past, in which this film appears.
