I cant find anything about how reliable this website is, but there is a really old video clip if you go halfway down the page that is really cool.

Re: Algerian Ouled Nail
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 9:16 PMI did some digging, and the clip is one of Thomas Edison's early films:
Filmed May 9, 1895, in Edison's Black Maria studio, while Princess Ali was performing with Barnum & Bailey's circus in Orange, New Jersey.
Here's the link for the clip on the Library of Congress website:

There are also other early Edison films at the LOC:
