WITHOUT DEFENSE. Whitewashing has its difficulties, especially when one's hated rival is perched on the fence to enjoy one's discomfiture, as in this scene from "Slim, Fat or Medium," in which Slim laughs while Fat gets the worst of it from the loved one's paternal parent. Slim (Victor Potel), Charley Cupic (Ed Sedgewick) and Harry Hazard (Ted Duncan) are rivals for the affections of Betty Boniface (Lillian Hamilton), whose father favors Slim, the village undertaker. However, while Slim and Fat are disputing over their cause, Medium elopes with Betty.

Jest a Reg'ler Picter Show
By LOIS ZELLNER
HEN bicycles, they fust come out, they shorely cost a lot; But soon as they got popular, the price fell on the spot. The same with ortermobeel cars — when they fust come ter town, The price wuz high; but later on it likewise tumbled down. But these here movin' picter shows that started at a dime, When the gol-durned things got popular, the price begun to climb ! I see in this here paper where a lot o' city chaps Has started up a picter show — a big one, too, perhaps.
They give yer printed programs, jes like a opry show, An' they have a band a-playin' in a pit 'way down below.
The tickets is two dollars, an' yer check yer coat an' hat, . An' a pretty female usher shows yer where yer seats is at.
But I'm durned if I don't kinder feel that I would rather go To the place down on the corner — jest a reg'ler picter show.
When they git so doggone stylish with their velvet seats an' such, A feller feels ss» formal — kinder lacks the human touch. A picter is a picter, an' a screen is jest a screen, An' a dime is all I've paid 'em fer the best I ever seen— So I think I'll keep a-goin' to the corner fer a while, An' let the other fellers pay two dollars jest fer style !
