A NARROW ESCAPE FOOD FOR THOUGHT
One of those ever popular beach comedies. For convenience the two leading characters will be called Jack and Hector. Jack falls in love with Hector's girl and is caught in the act of kissing her. There is a lively chase. Jack, who is wearing white duck pants, escapes. A bathing girl, similarly clad, is mistaken for Jack, and Hector kicks her soundly. Subsequently, Jack goes to get a shave. While his face is covered with a towel, his barber switches him to another tonsorial artist, who turns out to be Hector.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT is another short subject on the same reel. Sitting on a park bench waiting for his fiancee, Jack engages in conversation with a distinguished looking middle aged man. The stranger invites the young couple to have lunch with him at the Ritz. He offers Jack a position at $10,000 per year. Jack's dream is rudely shattered when an insane asylum attendant arrives and takes the bogus railway president awav. Both of these comedies are amusing and entertaining.
