COMEDY.
The new arrival is a soldier on the same mission as that of his brother officer, and his stay is interrupted by a second appearance of the superintendent, and he disappears into another hamper.
The hampers are now loaded on a little cart drawn by a burro, which is led by the superintendent. The other members of the party and the children are in a picnic bus, and the party is off to the grounds. En route the hampers tip off the cart, and the "charge de affaires" is much inconvenienced in his efforts to reload.
Arriving at the grounds another spill of the hampers upsets the illustrious leader.
When the final preparations for luncheon are made all the children gather about the hampers, and as they are opened the officer and soldier appear. The hampers are quickly closed, a barrel is procured and, with both men forced into the barrel, one from either end, the barrel is started down the hill with everybody in pursuit. The barrel is intercepted a number of times, but has gained such momentum that it always succeeds in getting away. It finally rolls off a cliff into a river, and the occupants are rescued on the opposite bank by the picnickers.
Very exciting and amusing.

OH! THAI? MOLAR. Approximate Length, 220 feet.
Price, $26.40.
The subject is very ludicrous, and in the opening scene we have the patient with his face somewhat distorted by the swelling of the jaw, superinduced by an aching molar.
The wife is attempting to do what she can to alleviate the pain and is not only unsuccessful, but also meets with rebuke. Finally the patient retires, but restlessly tosses himself and at 2:45 a. m. he is almost frantic with pain, and the wife, taking compassion, tries to pull the tooth with a string, in which endeavor she succeeds.
Retiring, he now goes to sleep and dreams that he has lost all of his teeth and that an automobile is resetting them in the sockets of his jaw. The dream is realistically reproduced. However, his ravings are so violent as to incur the displeasure of his ever indulgent wife, and driven to the limit of her patience she now administers a trouncing with a pillow; the tick bursts and feathers cover the room, when the brave man is vanquished.
Very amusing and, as a short comedy, will please everybody.
