45 L-7605 Western Whoopee Code NERBAR Rough-riding cowboys, bad-men, saloons with the usual or rather an unusual dance hall, and so forth, in an amusing imaginative picture. The bad-man attempts to abduct one of the dancers, but our hero overtakes him and, in a sword duel, utterly vanquishes him. The story ends as it should. 8 viin. L-7606 The Big Cheese Code NERBER The champion goes through a comical training for his ring encounter with the contender. The training quarters are novel to say the least. The hour for the fight arrives and the crowd cheers or jeers either its favorite or the opponent. The fight is as much a dance as a sparring matcli. The musical background as usual adds immensely to the picture. 9 min. L-7607 Good Old School Days Code NERBIR An amusing animated cartoon. The "school children" include many animals. Here are Mary and her lamb and the little elephant who is late for school and stops outside to write a "Please Excuse" note, ostensibly from his mother. One of the pupils whistles a lively tune and all the pupils, and even the school-house sways to its rhythm. 8 min.

L-7609 League of Nations Code NERBUR Ko-Ko, the little clown, becomes alarmed when viewing Mars through a telescope. The Martians are drilling their armies apparently for an attack on the earth.

L-7611 Midnight Code NERCE A backyard fence quartet of cats so disturbs a peaceful neighborhood that one member of the citizenry calls on the dog-catcher.

L-7612 Gypped in Egypt Code NERCI With a background of the Sphinx and Pyramids, we see the exciting adventures of two characters who spend a strenuous evening dodging numerous skeletons and other formerly living things in Egypt.
