wm VOGUE FILMS Inc., Presents TWO REELS RELEASED DECEMBER 31st FEATURING BEN TURPIN Supported by Gypsy Abbott This Vogue comedy is laid “down on the farm.” Ben, a hay-baler, is the hero. Gypsy, the beautiful daughter of a hard-hearted father, is the heroine. Paddy, a rough and ready cowboy, is the villain of the piece. Paddy’s jealousy makes Ben’s love making a rather strenuous pastime. He not only suffers “jolts,” as the title indicates— but also bumps — lots of them. At length, however, a rubber diver’s suit and a “Free Air” hose at a nearby garage enable Ben to foil Paddy’s most vil¬ lainous plot. Laughter reigns supreme throughout. Directed by Robin Williamson. Released through 68 Mutual Film Exchanges. Slapstick with a Reason VOGUE FILMS, Incorporated General Offices: 6225 Broadway Chicago, Illinois REEL LIFE — Page Fifteen
