COMEDY.
apart, as if hinged, and from the eyes are drawn numberless yards of fine tape.
From inside the two halves of the head are produced champagne and liquor in bottles, cigars, cigarettes and glasses.
The halves of the head are rejoined, life and comic gesticulations again occur, and the hand of the artist wipes the whole from the blackboard, section by section, though muscular action remains even in the last portion left — one eye — which winks at the audience in an impudent manner before being finally wiped out.
The most amazing and amusing magic, mirth and mystery film ever published.
U. D. 3160. FIB.3T DINNER AT FATHER-IN-LAW'S. Price, $38.40. Approximate Leng-th, 320 feet.
A most entertaining subject, showing the adventures of a man who is to be honored by being the guest of honor at a dinner given by the father of his wife. The incident has so unnerved the son-in-law that before preparing for the dinner he is obliged to take liberal doses of tonic so as to face the ordeal. This has the effect of making him rather unsteady on his pedal extremities. Several funny experiences are depicted before the paternal domicile is reached.
Arriving at the destination the excess wearing apparel is disposed of, and after exchanging greetings the masculine relatives repair to the wine cellar to secure a supply for dinner. Several samples are indulged in, and when finally the dinner is under way much excitement is experienced. Son-in-law uses a seltzer bottle very effectively. At the dance following, the fermented grape juice is getting in its work, and spirits are bubbling over, as also the dancers. The final scene illustrates a hilarious and "free for all" fight, in which the son-in-law's wife is the central figure, as also the one carrying* off the honors. Highly amusing and of good photographic quality.
