Moving Picture World (Mar-Dec 1907)

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. 238 him unmercifully and he is borne to the ground by overwhelming numbers. The man whom he has pursued, seeing that he is getting the worst of the bargain, returns and with a stout stick drives off the assailants, and is thanked for his help. Mutual explanation follows and the pair go off arm in arm. The wife being left in such a fashion, picks up the hat and examines it. then calls the maid and asks her if she has a follower. The maid replying in the negative still adds to the mystery. The battered husband now appears, offers profuse apologies, explains the circumstances, kisses his wife (who is glad peace is once more proclaimed)), embraces his rescuer, and makes his wife do the same, to the great confusion of the pair. The husband then goes off to make himself presentable, leaving his embarrassed wife and visitor to entertain each other. On his return he insists upon his new-found friend staying to supper, and continually adds to the confusion of the guest to the end of the scene. PAPA’S LETTER. A pathetic story of the little girl who wants to rejoin her dead father. She asks her mother to put a stamp on her and post her to heaven. The little girl goes out, unfortunately gets run over, is killed and fulfils her mission. The letter is posted. Very beautiful quality. FATHER'S WASHING DAY. The old man interferes generally in the laundry and to get rid of him is sent out to deliver the washing. After frequently falling over people and several amusing mishaps he is taken home by the police. TOO MUCH MOTHER-IN-LAW. While courting, the young folks are surprised by the young lady’s mother, who seemingly arises out of the floor and blesses her prospective son-in-law. Beneath a wedding bell of orange blossoms and lillies of the valley the young couple are about to be united in the “bonds of holy matrimony.” Still, unduly anxious about her daughter. Mother-in-law stands between the pair and delays the ceremony. The young couple, starting on their wedding tour, board a trolley car bound for the railroad depot. They have just seated themselves when Mother-in-law appears between them, to the great amusement of the other passengers and the chagrin of the groom. The young couple, thinking they have left Mother-in-law behind, enter the train in great glee. Alas, they are disappointed again for, while the train is running at full speed, Mother-in-law suddenly appears between them. The son throws the old lady out of the window, “but .you can’t lose your mother-in-law.” After a long journey the young couple arrive at Anolher-town, and, thoroughly tired, seat themselves on a bench in the public square. They are congratulating each other upon the way in which they “shook” Mother-in-law when, behold, here she is again ! The young couple take refuge in a coalmine, and feel that here, in the very bowels of the earth, they are safe. But, again they are mistaken, for Mother-in-law suddenly steps between them. This time the young husband tries to blow up bis Mother-inlaw. Does he succeed? I should say not. The young couple, in their attempt to escape the old lady, enter a street car. Mother-in-law pops in at the rear door, and the young folks run out of the from door and jump off the platform. The young couple, once more without Mother-in-law, arrive at a hotel, and proceed to make themselves comfortable. H01rors! Here she is again! The young husband pleads with Mother-in-law to leave them, but she insists that they need he. watchful care. Too much is too much! Thoroughly tired of the frequent interruptions in their honeymoon, the young couple return home. They have just reached there when Mother in-law walks in and announces that she intends to live with them. And she makes herself at home, all right ! Driven to despair, the young husband drinks poison and drops dead; he imme diately is seen entering hades. His young widow, finding his dead body, also drinks poison, and her spirit is seen joining her husband’s spirit in hades. Mother-in-law finds the two dead bodies, and, determined that not even heaven shall separate her from the young people, she drinks what is left of the poison. The young couple, although in hades, are glad to be without Mother-in-law, and feel that here they can surely live together without her interference. But they have underestimated her persistence, for suddenly =he appears and, to the great amusement of Satan and his imps, embraces her daughter and her son-in-law. New Films. BTOGRAPH.
