44 CLASS 6 — Comedies and Juvenile COURTESY TITLK REEL NO. CLASS SIX COMEDIES AND JUVENILE Courtesy of RICHARD FROMM 3500 HIS MARRIAGE WOW Harry is scheduled to be married but he goes to the wrong church, leaving the bride waiting at the right church. The mistake is corrected and Harry arrives late. His wife's family moves in on Harry, including a sister who is enjoying her dead husband's life insurance. A mysterious stranger who calls himself Professor IMcGlumm warns Harry against poison just as Harry drinks some cofifee made by mistake from a package of Bull Durham tobacco. Thinking he is poisoned, Harry staggers oiit and IMcGlumm bundles him into a car to take him to the hospital. He is pursued by the keepers of an insane asylum from which McGlumm has escaped. There is an exciting and sidesplitting ride during which McGlumm drives. After a number of hair-breath escapes the automobile is wrecked. Clean, hilarious slapstick comedy. 1 Reel Courtesy of BILLY BURKE HOME MOVIES 3501 PICKING PEACHES In this ludicrous farce Harry Langdon plays the familiar role of the philandering husband who becomes involved in a series of screamingly funny situations. He is a salesman in the ladies' shoe department of a large store. The sequence in which Harry grabs a customer's leg thinking it is a wooden hoisery model, is a gag that always gets a big laugh. There are several beach scenes, followed by a beauty contest, giving the Mack Sennett bathing girls ample opportunity to display their charms. Most of the action in the last part of the story takes place in bathrooms and bedrooms, with Harry falling into the tub, hiding in a bed occupied by a jealous husband and going through a string of hilarious antics. A slapstick comedy with a racy plot similar to that of the typical French farce. You will get a hundred laughs out of it. 1 Reel Courtesy of SUNSET PHOTO SUPPLY, INC. 3502 THE IRON MULE Obviously intended as a burlesque of the great film epic "The Iron Horse," "The Iron Mule" makes the most of the humorous possibilities of this interesting theme. The "Twenty Cent Limited" as the train is called, is a faithful replica of the first steam train, tl has a funny, wood burning locomotive and cars that look like ancient stage-coaches. Al St. John is the engineer and the resourcefulness he employs would make a modern railroad man turn green with envy. When the train with its abnormally high smoke stack reaches a tunnel, Al removes the stack and carries it Share the Ejijoyitient of Your Projector With Others
