22 PATHEPICTURES GRANDMAS BOY (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 5 Reels The drama of a bashful boy. He is such a coward that the boldest thing he ever did was sing out loud in church. One night when he and his rival, a bull} who makes his life miserable, are calling on his girl, the sheriff brings word that one of the village storekeepers has been shot by a tramp, a desperate character with whom the boy has already had one encounter. Every man is sworn in as deputy. Getting lost from the posse in the dark night the boy runs home in terror and hides. His old grandmother gives him a charm with which she says his grandfather overcame his cowardice and covered himself with glory in the Civil War. With the charm, he goes out, captures the tramp single a handed and fights the bully to a knockout. Then Grandma tells him the charm was only ( her umbrella handle — all he needed was self-confidence. He proves he really has it by winning the girl without the charm. Exceedingly thrilling and funny. AMONG THOSE PRESENT (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 3 Reels This is a travesty on high society, done in the typical Lloyd vein of humor. Harold is a hat boy in a hotel, anxious to wear "swell" clothes. His opportunity comes when he is asked to impersonate a famous European hunter and sportsman. He thinks it only a harmless joke, but when he learns it is a scheme to mulch money from a newly rich family, he exposes the plot and wins the daughter of the house. Many laughs are extracted from the Boy's hunting stories. His wild animal exploits and his experiences in riding in "the chase" create convulsions of laughter. I DO (M., H.S., J.) 2 Reels Xewlyweds suddenly left in charge of two young and mischievous children provide the humor of this unusually humorous and human Lloyd comedy. Lloyd's dodging traffic with a baby carriage, his struggles to fill the baby's bottle and put the nipple on, his efforts to suppress the youthful exuberance of the children, and his prowling through the dark house in quest of an imaginary burglar are hilariously funny and absolutely free from anything objectionable. NEVER WEAKEN (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 3 Reels This is the love story of a nice young man and a doctor's stenographer. Her boss's business is bad, so he hires an acrobat and goes out to drum up trade. When he believes his girl untrue to him he decides on suicide. While sitting blindfolded on a chair, a girder being hoisted to a neighboring building in the process of construction, comes in the window and carries him out over the street. He thinks he's in heaven, but learns he is not and the remainder of the comedy is concerned with his efforts to reach the ground without falling. It is breathlessly thrilling and funny. FROM HAND TO MOUTH (M., H.S.) 2 Reels The Boy is penniless and hungry. He finds a purse, but the money is counterfeit. A rich Girl sees his plight and gives him money. A gang of thieves, desirious of annexing the Girl's fortune, bribes her attorney to join them. The Boy is hired to do the kidnapping, but when he finds the victim is the girl who befriended him, he rescues her instead. HIS ROYAL SLYNESS (M., H.S., J.) 2 Reels The Boy is a book agent who bears such a striking resemblance to Prince Razzamataz that he is asked to impersonate the Prince and marry the Princess, the real Prince having fallen for the wiles of a vamp. It is love at first sight between the pseudo Prince and the Princess, but a revolution stands between them and happiness. The kingdom is overthrown and the Princess is permitted to wed the American book agent. HAUNTED— SPOOKS (M., H. S., J.) 2 Reels The Boy, disappointed in love, weds the Girl because she needs a husband by the terms of her uncle's will. She and her husband must live in the family mansion for one year. Other relatives want it and try to scare them away by appearing as ghosts. A lively time is enjoyed until the "ghosts" are uncovered. AN EASTERN WESTERNER (M., H.S., J., Cr.) 2 Reels His patience sorely tried, father disowns the Boy, who goes West, to his uncle's ranch, which is near Piute Pass, where it was considered bad form to shoot the same man twice on the same day. A new arrival in the town is the Girl and her sick father. She is the victim of the town bully, and the Boy becomes her champion and rescuer. The Eastern tenderfoot is kept busy outwitting the hard-boiled Westerner, but succeeds and wins the Girl and father's forgiveness.
