40 ■THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "Stop That Shimmey." Lyons-Moran Star Comedy CAST Eddie Eddie Lyons Lee, Clerk Lee Moran Prop, of Hotel Fred Gamble Leader of Purity Squad Dan Crimmons „ o t 1 Elsie Cort Bara Sisters , g^^ty Petterson ■pHE small village was all worked up over the arrival of the Bara sisters burlesquers, who were to appear that night at the local show house. The girls arrive just as the Purity Squad have made their demands on the proprietor of the Hotel who is also the manager of the Opera House that they will never elect him Mayor if he allows the girls to appear. The girls are urged to give a demonstration of their evenings show. Their first number meets with approval of the committee and also looks fine, but their next change in abbreviated costume so terribly shocks them that the girls are told that they cannot appear. The girls go to their rooms. About this time a telegram comes telling the girls that they would be given 30 weeks on the Pan time if they were blondes. They are happy and one of them says "Let's Dye Together." The boys in the hall hear this and thinking that the girls are going to commit suicide tell the committee downstairs and some of the women faint and the boys yell WATER WATER. Some villagers outside hear this and thinking that there is a fire wagon and arriving at the hotel start to play water on the crowd. Picture ends with the breaking down the door just as the girls have finished dying their hair. Current Events. No. 8. Winter Ca/mival in White Mountains.— Gorfuwi, N. H.
