54 CLASS 6 — Comedies and Juvenile COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. with a wedding reception. Billy, the best man has never fallen for the fair sex but has stumbled often. After the marriage the groom is out of sorts and Billy undertakes to look after him. He gives him a big dose of castor oil and puts him to bed. Billy accidentally sets fire to the curtains near the door. To put it out he throws a bucket full of water and most of it goes through the transom, dousing the bride. She turns and, seeing her husband pouring water from a pitcher into a glass, thinks that he threw the water at her and empties a golf fish bowl over him. Next morning Billy arrives to take the newlyweds for a ride in his car. The film has a whirlwind ending with the groom being dragged along, the street, Billy's flivver falling to pieces and a policeman losing his pants. An excellent comedy. 1 Reel Courtesy of RODNEY GILLIAM COMPANY 3528 LOVE AND KISSES The Pike family, formerly wealthy, are on their uppers.

Waldo Pike eats some cloves and proposes to her. She says "No thanks, I can do better in Oklahoma." She slides down the bannister right into the arms of Fisher who has come to call on Prunella. It is love at first sight. Prunella breaks up the romance by kissing Fisher. Alma, out of jealousy, agrees to marry Waldo Pike. Fisher interrupts the marriage by sending a bogus telegram saying that Alma's father has lost all his money. When Waldo gets this news he refuses to marry Alma.
