CLASS 6 — Comedies and Juvenile 49 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. to sleep and spoils the whole scene. The owner of the dog is discharged and the property man is told to get a new dog for this scene. After several attempts, he nabs a huge dog which proves to be a dwarf dressed up to advertise dog biscuits. The man who was discharged from the studio for having the lazy dog puts some pepper inside the dwarf's costume. Phil, the movie director, is about to put the scene over successfully when the "dog" starts sneezing. He falls into another set where Lucille is playing a vamp scene, wrecking that. The story continues and has a very fitting, hilarious and exciting climax. Everyone will be pleased with this film. 1 Reel Courtesy of BELL & HOWELL COMPANY 3515 SCRAMBLED EGGS The motive of the tale can be told from the introductory title — -"Correspondence marriages have been in vogue ever since Henry the Eighth wrote July the Fourth to fix it for him with May the First." A rip-roaring comedy full of action, laugh producing comedy. A sure guarantee of fun and livel}^ action. 1 Reel Courtesy of BELL & HOWELL COMPANY 3516 "NORTH OF NOWHERE" Tom Bones and Nibbin take some hair tonic into the Arctic and get fast repeat business for their barber shop. A scream from beginning to end. They establish a barber shop in the Arctic circle and trim the Eskimos. After each haircut, thev rub on some hair tonic. The result is that each customer soon rushes back for another haircut, and the money conveniently rolls in for the two clever youngsters. This is a Life Cartoon Comedy. 1 Reel Courtesy of AGFA, ANSCO CORPORATION 3517 THE BIG SHOW An Our Gang comedy, featuring the original cast of these inimitable fun-makers. Three of the gang attend the Countv Fair or rather they observe the points of interest through knot holes in the fence until the village "constabule" chases them away. They decide to stage a Fair of their own. Their menagerie of wild animals composed of domestic pets disguised ingeniously as girafifs, camels, zebras and "African Polar Bears" is alone worth the price of admission. A home made merry-go-round is operated by a one-dog power motor started by the simple expedient of exposing a cat in a cage attached to a contrivance. A disgruntled voungster sneaks in through a hole in the canvas and turns all the "wild" animals loose. What happens then is more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkevs. Like all Our Gang comedies, this film is packed full of wholesome, spontaneous laughs. Both old and vouno^ will enjov it. 1 Reel Your Proiector Is a Medium of Education. Use It Often
