Congregation Leaving Jesuit Church of St. Francis Xavier, Dublin (1902)
Dublin churchgoers after mass in 1902.
Overview
Shot in December 1902, this film shows a variety of Dublin residents in their Sunday best and was intended to attract people from the crowd to the cinematograph show to see themselves on screen. In the background, a poster advertises a sermon by the Very Rev. J. Conmee. The same John Conmee was rector at the Jesuit boarding school attended by the young James Joyce, and features in Joyce's Ulysses.
