They go to a store that has advertised a sale, but arrive an hour early. Mrs. Smith goes to shop elsewhere, while hubby decides to surprise his wife by buying some silk underwear for her. Wife appears just as Mr. Smith is holding some filmy undies up to a strange lady. Bubbles is checked in the nursery. Here she decides to buy a baby brother. She picks a bargain — one with a tag marked "5," and leaves a nickel on the counter to pay for it. Bubbles leaves the door of the nursery open and the kids get all over the store. Finally Smith buys a chair at a bargain. To be sure of getting the right one he starts to carry it home. He stumbles downstairs and the chair is smashed. You will have to see the rest. An entertaining comedy for all. 1 Reel Courtesy of BOOTHE-NEWBY COMPANY 3509 OUR GANG IN "FIRE FIGHTERS" Roosevelt Pershing Smith owns a genuine fireman's helmet, which is sufficient reason for making him Chief of the gang's fire department. The gang discovers a still belonging to a bootlegger and appropriate it for their fire engine. Roosevelt's sister threatens to take the Chief back to his Ma unless they let her become a member of the fire department. They give her the job of sitting on the roof and watching for smoke. When she sees a cloud of steam coming out of a colored woman's kitchen window, she turns in an alarm. A policeman comes to investigate the fire engine. He sits on the wagon with the Chief on his lap and the dog, hitched to the wagon, starts chasing a cat. It runs between the legs of the escaping bootlegger, who is dragged right into the police station. A hilarious laughfest. 1 Reel Courtesy of SUNSET PHOTO SUPPLY, INC. 3510 SCHOOL PALS Three trained monkeys are the stars of this unusually ludicrous comedy. They eat breakfast, squirting grapefruit juice into their own and each others eyes. To get to school, the big boy monk rides a donkey, the girl monk hops on a bicycle and the little monk rides in a goat cart. They take their places in the school room together with the human children. The little monk is the bad boy of the trio. Forced to sit in the corner with a dunce cap on his head, he sneaks away and slides down the slide with the children. The professor tries to catch him, but the monk climbs the flagpole. While the teacher is chopping down the pole the monk descends by way of the rope. The goat also figures, butting the professor and chasing all over the country. A comedy with an all human cast could not compare with this clever animal film. 1 Reel Home Movies for Clean, Wholesome, BeneBcial Entertainment
