CLASS 9 — Animated Cartoon Comedies 81 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. Felix being" at the end of the nozzle gets pushed up in the air, landing somewhere in India where they raise elephants from pups. Felix finally finds an elephant all in from dragging a big boulder. Felix tells the elephant the easy job circus elephants have. The elephant is sold on the idea and breaks loose from the harness and goes with Felix. After a trying, humorous journey they finally arrive at the circus tent. Felix and the elephant are the heroes and the stunts they put on are worth seeing. The circus element makes this picture especially interesting to children. 1 Reel Courtesy of BELL & HOWELL COMPANY 5506 FELIX THE CAT IN "PEDIGREEDY" Felix dressed up for a big evening out, finds a pedigree is necessary for admission to an exclusive barnyard night club. Consequently, he makes up, out of his own mind, the story of his wonderful ancestors. From the story Felix tells it appears that his two oldest ancestors on the Ark not only suppled the seamanship aboard that crowded boat, but also in time of distress rescued Noah from a watery grave. Later, to hear Felix relate it, an early Egyptian grandfather taught Rameses the Charleston and thereby ascended to the throne after the King's sudden demise from overexertion. Then the black cat describes how a somewhat later progenitor illustrated, with a well-thrown brick, the rotundity of the earth, thereby convincing his hearer, Christoforo Columbo, of that fact. And to top it all, Felix digs up a family tree and is duly elected to membership in the club. 1 Reel Courtesy of BELL & HOWELL COMPANY 5507 FELIX DUCKS HIS DUTY War has been declared. Appeals for recruits are being made but these are ignored by Felix. A forceful recruit changes his mind, and Felix is soon at the front. Here he finds everything in a turmoil, and spends most of his time dodging bullets, shrapnel, and larger shells. He is captured by the enemy, but rides a big shell back to his own camp. Felix decides that all this warfare is a bit strenuous. He reads in a paper of those who are married being exempted. He thinks it clever when he proposes to the first female he meets and is hurriedly married. But married life is not as Felix expected. He craved rest, solitude and a good pipe. Instead he finds that his wife wants him to work and when he does not the missiles start coming his way. He stands the onslaught as long as he can, and then beats a hasty retreat. Then on the battlefields Felix finds it to be peaceful and quiet compared to his married life. 1 Reel Share the Enjoyment of Your Projector With Others
