4 8 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD THE SUBURBANITE'S INGENIOUS ALARM. This Edison film shows a broker's of- fice in the city.- Mr. Early, as usual, ar- rives late and is caught by the manager and threatened with dismissal. Mr. Early buys an alarm clock, which wakes him In the morning all right, but refuses to ■ stop ringing. He smothers the sound under his pillow and goes off to Bleep again. The late Mr. Early misses street cars and trains and arrives at the office in time to get another lecture from the manager. Mr. Early hits upon a plan. He buys a rope, ties it to his wrist, drops it from his window and arranges with his friend to pull It in the morning as he passes by, feeling sure this ingenious alarm will get him up in the morning, which it does, but not in the manner he expected. Near the small hours of the morning a burglar espies the rope hang- ing from the second story .window and is about to - ascend, when he is Inter- rupted by a policeman, who at once pro- ceeds to investigate by climbing up the rope. Mr. Early finds himself suddenly jerked out of bed, onto the floor and up to the window. He explains to the policeman his ingenious alarm. He is again aroused by a tipsy clubman, upon whom he empties a basin of water, and then goes back to bed, this time tying the rope around his feet. A milk wagon appears on the scene and the tipsy club- man has his revenge. He fastens the rope to the milk wagon, which drives off,, pulling poor Mr. Early out of bed. out of the window and into the street. Away the milk wagon drags him, down the street, around the corners, over mud- holes, until at last he is rescued by a passing policeman and sent back home in the milk wagon—but very much awake. Mr. Early arrives at the office in bandages and on crutches, but on time at 5 A. M.—much to the amusement of the scrub-woman.
