Cripple Creek Bar-Room Scene

It's really hard to rate an early film like "Cripple Creek Bar-Room Scene" as it's only about a minute long and has very little in the way of plot.

In the film you see a rather simple set of a bar. A large bar matron is behind the counter pouring drinks. A couple of her customers get rowdy and she tosses them. End of film.

According to IMDb, this is probably the first film set in the West, though it's hard to call it a western per se. It also is perhaps the first transvestite film, as the bar matron is, according to IMDb, a guy dressed as a woman. Because of these things, it's of interest to film historians but the average viewer probably will find little of interest here.
