26 PATHEPICTURES Will Rogers Comedies Will Rogers is a philosopher as well as a humorist. His comedies are filled with both his sound philosophy and his inimitable humor. FRUITS OF FAITH (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 3 Reels An appealing story of a man's love for a woman, for a child and for God. A "drifter" in the West finds a lost child and adopts him. A good woman falls in love with both and the man settles down to a life of industry and respectability. Then the child's real father appears and the rest of the story relates the way in which the erstwhile vagrant meets this crisis in his life. A ROPIN' FOOL (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 2 Reels Just a tramp and a rope, but never such humor and such skill with a rope as are seen in these delectable two reels. HUSTLIN' HANK (M., H.S., J.) 2 Reels Hank is happy on the ranch until the Rancher's sister comes West with a view to getting scenes of the "great open spaces." She enlists Hank to run the camera, which he is willing to do until it turns into real work, when he rebels. JUST PASSIN' THROUGH (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 2 Reels A tramp gets off a train in a town where tramps are not popular and life immediately becomes very active. He sees a sign announcing a big Thanksgiving dinner in the jail, so he goes to jail. Just as the dinner is being served he is pardoned. The sheriff's wife has thirteen at the table and sends her daughter to get someone from the street to make fourteen. The tramp is the lucky one, but when he is about to eat the dinner the sheriff comes. The tramp leaves in haste, but takes the dinner with him and eats it alone on a freight train. UNCENSORED MOVIES (M., H.S.) 2 Reels Will Rogers as a professional performer tells the small town audience of the wild life in Hollywood. His lecture is illustrated with inimitable impersonations of some of the most famous stars. THE COWBOY SHEIK (M., H.S., J., Ch.) 2 Reels Will Rogers, as a cowpuncher, on the "only ranch in the West that has kept its boys out of the movies," falls in love with the pretty school teacher from the East, purchases a new suit from a mail order house and makes his debut at a dance. Will's rival is the neighborhood bully, but when he tries to walk over Will something happens — and Will takes the girl home. TWO WAGONS— BOTH COVERED (M., H.S.,) 2 Reels Burlesque on "THE COVERED WAGOX." Rogers, the hardy frontiersman, takes two wagons across the plains. He also plays the part of the tenderfoot villain, who complicates life for the hero. THE CAKE EATER (M., H.S., J.) 2 Reels Rogers is a cowboy on a ranch, which is inherited by two old maids, who pick him out as their ideal cowboy. His efforts to avoid them, combined with their persistent attentions, and the practical jokes of the other cowboys, make a very amusing comedy. HIGHBROW STUFF (M., H.S.,) 2 Reels Burlesque on Little Theatre Movement and Motion Pictures. Will Rogers is a Russian Actor, about whom all New York is raving. He signs a contract with a motion picture company. They try him out and decide he is a failure, but he refuses to cancel his contract, so they let him experience the difficulties of a motion picture actor's life. He surprises them by doing everything he is told to do — and more. BIG MOMENTS FROM LITTLE PICTURES (M.) 2 Reels Burlesques on "BLOOD AND SAND," "ROBIN HOOD," and Keystone Comedies in which Rogers takes the leading roles and discloses the motion picture "tricks" used. GOING TO CONGRESS (H.S., M.) 2 Reels Will Rogers, as Alfalfa Doolittle, is nominated to Congress by the home politicians because he is the only man they know of who has never done anything which might be held against him. He wins the election and starts for the capital. He is surprised
