There is nothing easier, even these days, if you make a point of seeing the animated comedy-cartoons by Raouj Banc (the French cartoon genius) put out by the Edison Company. They are distinguished by having more laughter per foot than anything else on the screen. The situations are of the funniest, the humour of the quaintest character, and there is a total absence of vulgarity.
