•THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY ■37 "My Dog Pal." Two-Reel Century Comedy, Directed by Fred C. Fishback. QLD "Pop" Walker owned a farm, two babies, a wonderful dog and other interesting things. Bud the grandson, and Merta the granddaughter made things pretty lively for "Pop." Their dog "Brownie" seesawed for them all day long. When the postman came Brownie jumped off the see-saw and sent the two of them spinning through the air. "Brownie" always up to mischief, steals the food from "Pop," Bud is accused of it and is given a severe spanking. A letter arrives for "Pop" advising him that he has been made the sole proprietor of the "Lily White Cafe," owing to the death of his uncle John Barleycorn. They pack up and venture forth to take possession of the Cafe. There the girls shimmy and dance for old "Pop." He makes Bud the cook. Merta attempts to sing for the audience, but they all run out. The manager orders her under the sink with her pipes. The manager and head waiter plan to rob "Pop" of the money they have taken in. Brownie overhears the plot and steals the money from the Manager. The Manager and the head waiter go outside thinking they have the money, and throw bombs into the cafe to blow it up. Brownie imns after the bombs and puts them underneath the box on which the two thieves are sitting. The bombs explode and knock the two crooks into smitherins. Brownie brings the money to "Pop" and a happy ending follows. New Screen Magazine. No. 56. IT is rather difficult to think of anything as big as a whale in connection with tiny, artistic Japan, but the picturesque Nipponese coast town of Aikawa is the headquarters for the whaling industry in the Flowery Kingdom. John Burroughs, worldfamous and beloved naturalist, has learned to "commune with Nature's visible form" and speaks her "varied language." He has lived on a farm near West Park, N. Y., since 1874, gathering a wealth of knowledge about birds, beasts and boughs. The amusing adventures of Cinema Luke come next and Luke almost proves to his maker, Leslie Elton, that his sweetheart is not in love with him, but with Luke. "Time waits for no man," and the four dial electric clock on the Metropolitan building, N. Y., is no exception. It cost $100,000 of man-made money, though. Some laughographs, consisting of advertisements taken from the daily press, complete the magazine this week.
