COMEDY.
S. P. 250. THE PARMER'S APPLE TREE. Price, $7.20.
Approximate Length, 60 feet.
This Is a reminiscence of boyhood days. Two little urchins climb a tree heavily laden with ripe apples and shake a quantity of fruit to the ground. Then they descend and fill their pockets so that they may enjoy the feast later on. While engaged in picking up the apples, however, the owner of the tree appears on the scene accompanied by a business-like bulldog, and there Is nothing for the little chaps to do but to make their escape as quickly as possible, which they do, helter-skelter pursued by the farmer and his bulldog.
S. P. 248. CAYENNE PEPPER IN A STREET Price, $10.80.
CAB.
Approximate Length, 90 feet.
This film shows a street car progressing with a full load of passengers, ladies and gentlemen, when the conductor opens the door and assists a lady who has evidently been doing her week's marketing, as her arms are filled with parcels of groceries.
The car being full, she has to undergo the usual strap-hangers' fate, and as the car lurches around the difficult corners, it seems that she is in great danger of dropping her bundles, which, at last, actually happens, and one of them unfortunately contains cayenne pepper. The pepper being sprinkled over the car floor causes an epidemic of sneezing among the passengers, which is more easily imagined than described. Suffice it to say that the result soon clears the car of all its passengers, and the lady is left alone. A very comic film.
S. P. 219. THE MISCHIEVOUS GIRLS. Price, $10.80.
Approximate Length, 90 feet.
Two mischievous little girls looking for fun succeed in getting it, and our picture of their doings is the funniest comic film that has ever been shown to an audience, a policeman becoming their victim. "One of the finest" is detected in the midst of a very interesting conversation with his young lady and is so engrossed that he does not notice that one of the little girls has crept up unseen and quietly, but securely, tied one end of a long rope around his ankle. A typical hobo is reposing in a convenient chair in front of a nearby store and the other little one ties the free end of a long rope to Mr. Tramp, and when all is secure, they awaken him and tell him to "skidoo," that the cop is after him. Then ensues a funny, a very funny scene, and one that is nothing but laughs all the way through. The hobo tries to escape, but unfortunately jerks the cop off his legs and the two companions in misery, tumble, stumble, roll and fall in a way that would surely make a dyspeptic laugh.
S.P.210. SNOW PIGHT. Price, $6.00.
Approximate Length, 50 feet.
A heavy fall of snow has taken place during the night, and the boys are all on edge to pursue their favorite sport. No question about their enjoying the winter season, whatever their elders may do, and the looks of animation on the faces of the little rascals as they lie in wait for their comrades, their arms piled high with snowballs, make up a very bright and interesting scene and very popular with any audience.
Soon the opposing forces come on the scene and a grand oldfashioned snowball fight comes off, which warms the blood and takes the spectators back to boyhood days. Good, clear and fine, and a most popular subject wherever shown.
