CLASS 4 — Comedies and Juvenile 65 REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER Upsetting because of Hughie's great weight in the extreme rear. Arriving at the hotel Hughie fascinates Dot with an extravagant yarn about being the Caliph of Bagdad and telling her about his magic carpet. Later, in her dreams, she is transported on this magic carpet to the Caliph's harem where she is promptly made the reigning favorite, but becomes very sick in her effort to carelessly smoke cigarettes like the other ladies. Upon awakening Dot discovers the reason why she was dreaming of being fed to the lions. Some very good laughs in this subject. 1864 feet standard length— on 2 reels Rental $2.50 4016 Code GACER An Elephant on His Hands Independent Featuring Dot Farley and Hughie Mack This is a very funny slapstick comedy on the same order as "Roars and Uproars." The subject opens with some culinary trickery of an amusing sort, and a clash between a pet cat and the dog. Next comes the news that Hughie has been left a legacy of $100,000.00 conditional upon his maintaining the pets left by his dying Uncle. The family start out in their "Fierce-Arrow" to claim the pets and the legacy. To their horror the Express Agent delivers two full grown elephants as the pets. At once it is evident that the legacy is not an unmixed blessing. On the way home the elephants become somewhat obstreperous and clean out a fruit stand, etc. Exhausted with his efforts in getting the pets home, Hughie falls into an uneasy slumber in which he has a vivid nightmare of oriental splendor which the audience enjoys with him. While engaged in a terrific struggle with a leopard he awakens to find that he is shaking his wife, who is protesting in kind. Then come some perfectly hilarious scenes of the elephants entering and taking possession of a hotel, where they proceed to traverse the corridors, enter the sleeping and bath rooms and even crash through the walls, thus producing a series of extremely funny situations among the panic-stricken guests. 1941 feet standard length — on 2 reels Rental $2.50 4017 Code GACIR Shot Ambassador Featuring Billy Moran A slapstick comedy with humorous titles and excellent photographic quality. To win the attention of the farmer's daughter two rivals dress as hunters in order to emulate a third rival, who apparently is in favor. As hunters they are failures and succeed only in making themselves ridiculous, incidentally forcing the audience to laugh at their antics. Rough stuff, but a mirth provoker anyway — if you know what we mean. 871 feet standard length Rental $1.25 4018 Code GACOR Fresh Paint Chester The adventures of an artist with a jealous fiancee, an infatuated landlady and half a dozen charming models Most of the action centers upon the efforts of the artist to prevent his jealous fiancee from seeing him at work on a group Select plenty of alternates
