93 CLASS 4 — Comedies and Juvenile REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER 4015 Code GACAR An Arabian Nightmare Independent Featuring Hughie Mack and Dot Farley Dot is the universal drudge of the small town hotel where she fills every part from that of a female farm hand up to driving the hotel 'Bus. Hughie is in charge of the remains of the Ringworm Circus. Some quite funny business of the 'Bus 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 $2.00 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 "FierceArrow" 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 terrifric 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 $2.00 4021 Code GADE The Adventurer Mutual Featuring Charlie Chaplin The funniest comedy Charlie Chaplin ever produced. As an escaped convict, he escapes in excruciatingly funny ways from half a dozen guards attempting his recapture. Rescuing a beautiful maiden from a watery grave, he poses as a wealthy yachtsman and is thus entertained in the home of her millionaire father, where he keeps the other guests in a riot of merriment, until his rival, suspecting his identity, again puts the police on his trail.
