14 Pathex Motion Pictures Snub Pollard Comedies "Before the Public" No. C 5 Two Reels $3.50 Snub, a singer of illustrated songs, is egged by his audience. When he persists in his public appearances, to get rid of him the town arranges that he shall win a popularity contest in which the prize is a trip to Hollywood. Snub so appreciates this tribute to his ability that he refuses to leave, and the natives resort to forcible measures, and tie him to an outgoing train. "The Green Cat" No. C 8 Two Reels $3.50 Snub and his wife, opening a roadside inn, fail to draw any customers, and refuse to carry insurance on the building. A train is wrecked on a nearby railroad bringing lots of business to their place, and in the rush the house catches fire. Snub hastens to take out a policy, and believes he has saved the day but is dismayed to find that the policy has been burned. "The Courtship of Miles Sandwich" No. C 13 Two Reels $3.50 Snub, as John Alden, delegated by Captain Sandwich to woo Priscilla on his behalf, finds that she loves him in preference to the Captain. In revenge, Sandwich fills Snub's pipe with gunpowder, and in a subsequent parley with the Indians their Chief is the victim of the explosion. Thinking it a supernatural omen he offers his daughter to Snub, the mighty man who achieved the miracle. But Snub is carried off by Priscilla and the Indian girl confesses she loves the Captain in this farce-parody on Longfellow's famous poem. "CzJifornia or Bust" No. C 17 Two Reels $3.50 Snub and his wife, reading of the joys of the Golden State, start for the Coast with one of the most novel auto caravans you ever saw. They plan for all the comforts of home on their trip and even include a billiard table among their equipment. Of course with such burdensome baggage there are bound to be mishaps. "Welcome to California" No. C 23 Two Reels $3.50 Snub and "the wiff," tourists to the Coast, are greeted at the state line by a great sign "Welcome to California" and a terrific snowstorm at the same time. Then a farmer shoots at them for picking an orange. When they find themselves in the midst of a horrible Indian massacre (really a movie in the making) they decide that California is overrated and return to the Iowa farm.
