UP ON THE FARM
If Broadway Smith doesn't reach Squash Hollow Farm by ten o'clock to hear his uncle's will read he will be disinherited. The old spavined nag crawls along at a snail's pace until it takes a drink at a river where revenue officers have been dumping a lot of "evidence." Thus pepped up, the horse covers the remaining twenty-nine miles in fifteen minutes, arriving just in time. According to the will, Smith gets all the property providing he marries his uncle's ward and lives on a farm. Broadw^ay marries the girl and starts a farm on the roof of a New York skyscraper. There are several side-splitting sequences in which Smith dangles precariously over the edge of the building and fights wath the villain. Like all good stories it ends with the villain punished and the lovers happy. A mirth-provoking slapstick comedv with a real plot.
