Pathex Mot ion Pictures 15 "The Mystery Man" No. C 25 Two Reels $3.50 Snub becomes a detective and studies the methods of Sherlock Holmes, Hawkshaw, Lococq and other heroinvestigators. He recovers a stolen bag but it is full of wasps. In the chase for the robbers the pursuer is sometimes the pursued, and vice versa, but Snub finally rounds up the gang and virtue triumphs. "Hook, Line and Sinker" No. C 32 Two Reels $3.50 Snub's fishing club holds a tournament with prizes for the largest fish caught. Snub strives manfully, even invading the realm of the deep in his efforts to produce a winner. But you never saw one fish grow into two before your eyes as does the one that Snub produces. "Oil on the Old Farm" No. C 34 Two Reels $3.50 A hired man on a farm is just a hired man. But Snub, handy laborer for Farmer Woodbarrow, steps out of the common herd when he foils the slick stranger who tries to steal the deed to the old place. Then he discovers liquid gold, stands firm against the intrigues of stock salesmen, villains and sharpers of all kinds, finally marrying his employer's daughter. "Years to Come" No. C 39 Two Reels $3.50 Glance into the future with Snub and resign yourself to what will happen in 2065 when women rule the earth. Imagine Snub hurrying home from the marketing only to find his lady boss very angry because dinner is not ready. Have you ever tried coffee with soap in it? Snub's tired business woman does and goes off to the club. "Sold At Auction" No. C 41 Two Reels $3.50 Snub demonstrates his skill as an auctioneer, selling everything in the house from roof to cellar. But, unfortunately for Snub, it's the wrong house, and the owner happens to be the Chief of Police. The goods are returned, but the general idea appeals to the Chief who suggests another auction to get double the price. "Whirl O' The West" No. C 45 Two Reels $3.50 The rip-roaring border town receives the City Chap with open arms — too open in fact — and the natives take it upon themselves to educate him. He accidentally knocks down one of them and is a candidate for a lynching. But the village belle and a colored boy rescue him.
