"The Big Scoop"— Johnny Jones— Path*
Type of production 2 reel comedy
Johnnie Jones and Gertrude Messinger, assisted by their company of juvenile actors, offer a very entertaining tworeeler in "The Big Scoop." The kids are natural and enjoyable. In no way do they overact. Johnny is the editor of a little local paper full of scintillating gossip called "The Whisper," and Gertrude is the society editor. Everyone in town is saying that it has more news than "The Daily Tribune," and Old Man Jones is very hot under the collar. All "The Whisper" needs is a "big scoop," and with the aid of a falsealarm burglar scare and a flash-light photograph they get the picture of what they think is the burglar, and they sell out at a good price to Old Man Jones, the Tribune owner, just before their' latest issue appears with a front page picture that nearly gives the Old Man apoplexy.

Over here in west twenty-eighth street we deal in the genuine only. We will do for you a special kind of pleasing printing which will represent you, your personality, your methods and your ideals more truly, perhaps, than your best two-legged salesman can represent you.
