CLASS 9 — Animated Cartoon Comedies 83 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. Courtesy of RODNEY GILLIAM COMPANY 5510 THE MILKY WAY THE GOOSE AND THE GOLDEN EGG THE EARLY BIRD AND THE WORM THE FIRE BRIGADE This picture portrays the amusing adventures of some ridiculously funny animated models of bugs. The first part is about a Doodlebug milkman and his flirtations with a bug nursemaid. The Goose and the Golden Egg features Chips, the Wooden Man. A giant steals a goose from an old woman and Chips recovers it for her. As a reward he receives one of the eggs laid by the goose. The Early Bird and The Worm is packed full of laughs from beginning to end. No flesh and blood comedian could be nearly so ludicrous as this grotesque bird and the funny worm who frustrates him at every turn. This film further depicts the adventures of the Doodlebug Fire Department. This funny fire engine with its mirth provoking crew tear through the village, knocking houses to the right and left. The hero bug climbs up the ladder and rescues the fair bug-maiden, who has been trapped in the insect apartment house. An exceptional favorite with children, this film will be enjoyed by adults as well. 1 Reel Courtesy of WHITE KING SOAP COMPANY 5511 ^ FELIX THE CAT IN "EATS ARE WEST" Felix the Cat steals a stack of hot cakes frm a poster on a billboard.
