COMEDY. Arrives home in foggy condition. He helps grandma to roast the bird. Trouble begins. He invites his friends to dinner. More trouble. The attack on the bird. Trouble galore. The finish of the raffle turkey. A good, clean laugh throughout. U. D. 1818. THE HAND OF THE ARTIST. Approximate Length, 214 feet. Price, $25.68. This is a film presenting absolutely new effects of the so-called trick order, but it is in reality quite the best picture of its kind yet produced. The hand sketches life-like portraits of a "coster" and his "gal." The sketch portraits come to life and kiss and cakewalk most pleasingly, while the many altogether new effects succeed each other rapidly. The hand of the artist comes repeatedly on the scene, producing new wonders, finally crumpling up the artists into rolls of paper and dispersing them as confetti. Every showman who* sees this picture will buy it. 113
