4093 Code GATO The Sawmill Vitagraph
Featuring Larry Semon A good, though slapstick comedy, taken in a lumber mill and full of dynamite, danger, daring, and typical Semon stunts. There is the usual pursuit over roofs and over lumber piles, up tall trees, derricks and elevators. Larry's gigantic swing on a rope from the top of a falling tree is only one of the thrills. Thinness of plot is more than compensated for in variety and speed of action. You'll like it. 767 feet — on 2 reels Rental $2.00
4094 Code GATU Golf Vitagraph
Featuring Larry Semon An amusing comedy full of typical Semon stunts. His efforts to learn to play golf in his home are disastrous to the furniture. So he goes to the golf club where we see some very clever play with the ball — not by Larry but by a ground squirrel which continually causes it to disappear from the edge of one hole and reappear near another, while Larry stands between them hoping for a chance to drive. Other comedy is furnished by a negro caddy who, when frightened by a bear, seems glued to the ground. Too many stunts to describe. Full of action. One of the funniest of his comedies.

4095 Code GATAR A Night at the Show Essanay
Featuring Charlie Chaplin Charlie Chaplin in a double role. Charlie as a gentleman causes as much disturbance in the orchestra, as Mr. Rowdy dogs in the gallery. He is the cause of many mishaps in the lobby, and v/hen he finally gets into the theatre, changes his seat so many times that the audience is much annoyed. Mr. Rowdy is also up to all kinds of tricks, such as playing the hose on the audience, etc. Very good Chaplin comedy. It keeps the spectator wondering what will happen next. 664 feet — on 2 reels Rental $2.50
4096 Code GATER Shanghaied Essanay
Featuring Charlie Chaplin Charlie is shanghaied by a sailors' boarding-house proprietor and the bucko mate of a sailing vessel. He is put to work first on deck and later in the galley. After a short spell of seasickness he proceeds to make things interesting for the officers and the crew in characteristic Chaplin manner. Some of the most amusing business that Chaplin ever conceived occurs in the serving of meals on board the rolling ship, which is very well reproduced.
