The way in which Joe gets to the cement oftice — alive — has several very good thrills, and when he points out to Perrin some irregularities in the cancelled check, Perrin recalls the circumstances under which it was given (not for the alleged bill), and Perrin and Donovan both bid for Joe's services as Manager of their respective businesses. Joe, however, prefers a life job working for Rhoda, and everything ends well. This is a comedy drama of pleasing parts without any mushy sentiment, and very amusingly titled.

One day in 1790 there arrived in the little town of Sleepy Hollow, a new school master from Niewe Yorke, an awkward uncouth man named Ichabod Crane. He was met by the school committee and citizens and sent to "board around." Thus he met the charming Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of the richest man in the community. But Katrina had many admirers, most favored among them being Abraham Van Brunt or "Brom Bones" a handsome dare-devil of a fellow who regarded Ichabod's arrival in a not-too-friendly manner. Consequently as Ichabod seemed to find favor in Katrina's eyes Brom laid plans for his downfall. In those days stories of witches and goblins found credence. Ichabod was a firm believer in them and fearful were the tales he could relate. On the night of the big quilting party at the Van Tassel's, Ichabod the ungainly, borrowed an old nag and arrived in what to him seemed great style. Brom was there too, handsomer than ever, on his fine horse. Katrina smiled on both. As the evening advanced, tales were told of the headless horseman who had often been seen near the little church bridge which Ichabod had to pass on his way home. Ichabod who had come alone grew nervous at the recital and was the last to leave. As he came to the bridge his horse refused to go forward and Ichabod suddenly saw a weird black figure on a horse waiting near the bridge. His "who's there" went unanswered and his hair rose in horror as he finally forced his horse to cross the bridge and then saw that the other rider was following and that it was the headless horseman himself ! Madly he galloped toward home, but as he glanced behind him he saw that his pursuer carried his head in his hand and was about to throw it at him. As the "head" fell Ichabod was knocked from his saddle, but being uninjured he ran off thru the woods, while the horseman who was in reality Brom Bones enjoyed a hearty laugh at his expense. Ichabod left the neighborhood for good and shortly afterward the marriage of Brom and Katrina was celebrated. A delightful story, clean, cleverly acted and of both literary and historical interest. It is recommended for any audience. 4802 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $7.50 To secure subjects of your own choice
