R«*le»*s»«»cl April 5th, 1909 "The Road to the Heart" This is a most emphatic demonstration that the road to the heart is through the stomach. It shows a Mexican father who objects to his daughter's marriage and drives her out. The mother follows, hence he has to depend upon hired cooks to dress his table, but, oh, the result is awful, and he is glad to be reunited with his own. "Trying to Get Arrested" A tramp, down and out, hangry and cold, endeavors to get pinched with poor success. He longs for the skelter of the "cooler," but bo matter what deed he commits he is still a bird of freedom. THE BOAD TO THE HEART. &mimmmm€i April 8th, 1909 "A RUDE HOSTESS" This is a clever subject, with subtle action. A gentleman burglar who has entered a lady's apart- ment is surprised by the lady, who cleverly detains him entertainingly until the police arrive and take him into custody. if SCHNEIDER'S ANTI-NOISE CRUSADE If Schneider has been appointed to respond to the toast "To the Ladies," and sits to compose his effusion. He is annoyed by first the boy teasing the parrot, then the phonograph, a trombone, etc. Burglars break in and steal these instruments of torture, and, although caught by Schneider are allowed to depart with their loot and pay besides. rvj A RUDE H08TESA, RELEASE DATS OF BIOORAPH SUBJECTS MONDAY AMD THURSDAY OF EACH WEEK. 6ET ON OUR MAIL LIST AND KEEP POSTED WRITE FOR OUR DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULARS AMERICAN MUTOSCOPE'noBIOGRAPH COMPANY 11 E. 14th STREET, NEW YORK CITY When •nnofimg a d t wti m menU Hm ily wtmtbn Vardety.
