Taglines:

Gertie: she's a scream. She eats, drinks and breathes! She laughs and cries. Dances the tango, answers questions and obeys every command! Yet, she lived millions of years before man inhabited this earth and has never been seen since!!
According to science this monster once ruled this planet. Skeletons now being unearthed measuring from 90 ft. to 160 ft. in length. An elephant should be a mouse beside Gertie.
The greatest animal act in the world!!!

Winsor McCay: [to Geroge McManus] I made ten thousand cartoons,-each one a little bit different from the one preceding it. [Calls his assistant, he arrives] Mr McManus wants to see some of the drawings.

Winsor McCay: [Gertie eats a tree and starts dancing] Aw, stop that [Gertie stops] Be a good girl and bow to the audience [Gertie obeys] Thanks! Now raise your right foot [Gertie obeys] That's good! Now raise your left foot [Gertie thinks, a huge sea serpent emerges from the lake, Gertie turns to look at the monster] Never Mind that sea serpent! Gertie, raise your left foot. [the snake hides, Gertie seems roar to the audience] You're a bad girl, shame on you! [Gertie begins to cry] Oh, don't cry. Here, catch this pumpkin.

Winsor McCay: [a four-winged lizard is seen flying behind Gertie] Did you see that four-winged lizard? [Gertie nods] Sure? [Gertie nods again] Are you in the habit of seeing things?
