Editing Mitchell and Kenyon (section)

===Sports===
The recent introduction of Saturday afternoons off work had made sporting events into popular mass entertainment. Mitchell & Kenyon filmed these events, taking care to get as many spectators in as possible as well as showing some of the action. They took the first known film of the newly renamed [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], at the match they played on 6 December 1902 against [[Burnley]] – the film was to have been shown that evening at the [[Burnley Mechanics' Institute]], but the showing was cancelled as Burnley lost 2–0, and the film was never shown until its recent rediscovery. A match between Sheffield United and Bury in September 1902 featured [[William Foulke (footballer)|William "Fatty" Foulke]], one of the most famous players of his day who also played for Bradford City and Chelsea. They also filmed possibly the first football injury to be captured on film, when an Irish striker struck the goalpost in the [[Welsh national football team|Wales]] versus [[Ireland national football team (1882–1950)|Ireland]] international match at [[Wrexham]] in 1906. For further details see Vanessa Toulmin, "Edwardian Sport on Film", ''International Journal of Sport in History'', volume 26, no. 2 (2006).

[[Rugby league]] and cricket matches were also featured, and when A.D. Thomas, who styled himself ''"the picture king, the mastermind of the world"'', heard of a cricketing scandal where the respected [[Lancashire]] bowler [[Arthur Mold]] was repeatedly [[no-ball]]ed by the umpire, [[Jim Phillips (cricketer)|Jim Phillips]], he promptly commissioned a filmed re-enactment of Mold's bowling to prove that his technique was valid – the first action replay, which was a popular success.

Other films featured rowing events, horse trotting, athletics, cycle races and motor tricycle races.
