Pathex Motion Pictures 17 "Take the Air" No. C 24 Two Reels $3.50 Paul finds a new use for building machinery when he spends an eventful lunch hour in an edifice under construction. The giant derrick is his particular pet. See him play poker in mid air and get a thrill as he leaps from the roof with an umbrella for a parachute in order to meet the pretty time-keeper. "No Pets" No. C 33 Two Reels $3.50 Have you a little donkey in your home? If so Paul will show you how to take care of it. Paul, living in the Hotel Grant which allows no animals to be lodged in the rooms, is informed that his cousin is coming to visit him. The "relative" appears, in the form of a donkey, and Paul is hard put to keep the animal from causing the ejection of both. "Jailed and Bailed" No. C 36 Two Reels $3.50 Paul's inamorata, tired of being continually nagged by him and another suitor, has herself arrested for speeding, with a promise that she will wed the man who has her released. After various attempts to join her in jail, both succeed, only to find that she has been freed by her father, while the two suitors face terms in prison. "Shiver and Shake" No. C 37 Two Reels $3.50 Paul and his bride make their first home in a haunted house so they will not be bothered with visitors. But they are discovered by friends who give them a party. Then comes the excitement. The drawing room is upset by a wind storm, a black cat and a terrified colored servant girl alarm the neighborhood and daylight finds the honeymooners disconsolate on a friendly lawn, after a wedding night long to be remembered. "The Uncovered Wagon" No. C 40 Two Reels $3.50 Here's a film that will upset all your ideas of the Wild West. A parody on the great screen classic, "The Covered Wagon," it treats of the adventures of a band of pioneers who make their transcontinental trip in flivvers, meet with Indians who take the warpath on bicycles, and finally make their escape on a trolley car which runs across the prairie. "All in Vain" No. C 42 Two Reels $3.50 Paul's uncle, whom he has never seen, decides that Paul is spending too much money at college. He invites Paul to call and then disguises himself as the butler; Paul's Aunt as the maid. Paul walks into the trap — and out with the honors of the engagement, and with the admiration of his pretty cousin.
