Film Fun (July 1915)

While he leans on the trapeze, avow¬ ing his ardent affection, the curtain rises, and Ham makes quick efforts to escape from the stage. Madam Duffy and her trained ani¬ mals make a hit with the audience, until the animals become refractory. They disagree during the act as to the relative merits of Madam Duffy and Goldie. Each claims superior merits for his divinity. The two combatants are summoned before Madam Duffy and told to pre¬ pare to go on in the famous trainedanimal act. Ham is the lion and Bud essays the tiger stunt. They continue their discussion until Ham warmly insists that Goldie, the trapeze girl, is the most beautiful creature in the world. Bud enlists earnestly as an ally for Madam Duffy. In their efforts to settle the mat¬ ter, they forget their act and hastily snatch off their head pieces, to give room for argument, to the indigna¬ tion of Madam Duffy and the amuse¬ ment of the audience.
