Synopsis by Richard Gilliam

A popular, patriotic short from the nickelodeon days of the silent era, Three American Beauties was shot by Edwin S. Porter in black-and-white, with the color later stencil-painted onto each print of the film. Filmed in New York in March 1906, the "three American beauties" of the title are a rose, a woman, and the U.S. flag.
