Credit for cameraman, F.S. Armitage is taken from the Biograph production logs, however, this film is a product of two earlier Biograph films, probably taken by other cameramen.
According to the AFI catalog, the cameraman for Upper Rapids from bridge was W.K.L. Dickson. According to the Biograph production logs, W.K.L. Dickson was the producer and G.W. Bitzer was the cameraman. The Biograph production logs give only the name "Johnston" as the cameraman for M'lle. Cathrina Bartho, possibly referring to Arthur E. Johnston
Biograph production no. 1716.
Paper print shelf number (LC 0403) was changed when the paper prints were re-housed.

Double-printing on Dec. 8, 1900, of Biograph production no. 1210, M'lle. Cathrina Bartho (filmed September 7, 1899 in the New York City studio, probably by Arthur E. Johnston), and Biograph production no. 70, Upper rapids from bridge, Niagara Falls (filmed ca. September, 1896 at Niagara Falls, New York, by W.K.L. Dickson). Made in the Biograph studio, New York City.
"This is a double-printing picture combining a view of Mlle. Cathrina Bartho in her celebrated "Speedway" dance, with one of the Whirlpool Rapids of Niagara Falls, the resulting effect being that the dancer appears to be gliding over the surface of the rushing waters. 25 feet"--American Mutoscope & Biograph picture catalogue.
Superimposition of a woman dancing over footage of crashing waves from the rapids of Niagara Falls. The woman wears a frilly, perhaps feather-trimmed, white dress with a low-cut bodice, a matching feathered hat, white stockings, and white ballet slippers. She holds up her skirt through the entire dance, revealing her ankles and lower legs as well as a flash of a garter above the knee on her left leg. Her movements appear to be a mixture of ballet and variety-style dancing such as a cancan, including spins and toesteps on pointe. She closes with a flourish of her skirt as she executes a curtsy on pointe with one foot.
