(Vive le Sabotage)
The Unionist in France dearly loves the doctrine that he has the right to spoil his own work when his employer is under the ban, and while the workman has not quit his job, the baker's man spoils the bread — the barber cuts bis customer — the hatter smashes the customer’s hat— and the down-trodden laborer indulges in other gaieties which finally drive an innocent old couple to suicide by means of a charcoal fire. But Fate decreed tnat even the charcoal worker had spoiled the charcoal which gave off no gas, and the couple were saved.
The Soldier’s Helmet
French Gaumont
New Comedy Length, 577 ft.

Scratch My Back

Excellent Comedy Length, 317 ft.
Shows what an angel child can do— when the angel child is a boy of the period, who knows what itch pollen will do to a man when dropped down his back.
