"Crime in a Big City" — Aesop's Fables — Pathe
Type of production 1 reel animated cartoon
"Those who lay traps for others often get caught by their own bait," is the moral of this number of Aesop's Fables. The story is told of how the old farmer goes to tlie city and his little dog follows him and saves him from the schemes of crooks and gamblers. In one scene the farmer meets a flapper who cleans out his pockets but the little dog saves his master's property by taking them back from the girl's flapping galoshes. In tlie gambling den the farmer plays poker with two "oxes, who pass cards to each other under the tai)le. The little dog liowever manages to get the cards and give tiiem to his boss. When the gamblers hold five aces, then it is time to quit, and the farmer scoops up the coin and runs. They make a neat escape and return to the country. The animation is amusing and contains some very comical situations. It is well up to the average of the series and will please any audience.
"Such is Life Where Paris Shops"— R-C Pictures
Type production 1 reel travel cartoon
The latest Hy Mayer Travelaugh is one of the most amusing of the entire series so far. First of all there are some interesting shots of the Paris shops and shoppers showing the hurrying crowds and there is also a view of Paris's stock exchange. The artist, as usual, selects the more interesting types for his sketches which fade into the reality in a manner that always provides a laugh. Scenes of the markets and side-walk venders furnish interesting material for sketches that are preceded by cleverly written sub-titles. One in particular was that which said the merchants gradually began to look like the things they sold. There follows a sketch which fades into a woman fish peddler and the comparison wasn't over-drawn either. The reel is entertaining and should make up a good part on any program.
