"This is really only notable and an example of very early cinema photography as the eponymous body-builder flexes and pouts his way through just under a minute of screen time. It is also interesting as a curio of what people paid to watch at the end of the 19th century, and is probably just about the correct length to avoid it becoming repetitive."
