AWOL

Joyriding with Joy lands a soldier in the clink, and leaves him broke, while the other doughboys cartwheel back to the States after the Armistice.

The clean lines of the well-drawn animation are akin to Otto Messmer’s Felix.

 

Westward Whoa

Life on the Bungo Ranch, ridin’ and ropin’ as fer as possible.

Slick Sleuths

Detectives Mutt and Jeff seek the Phantom, a shadow who becomes a door or window (with a lady inside) or Charlie Chaplin or a black mammy or a cop, very hard to grasp.

A vaudeville crazy house with a beautiful nurse, of course, the patients cable Scotland Yard against “the fuzz faced phantom”.

Scotland Yard is a playground full of Scotsmen, the yardmaster sends one over to America in kilts and cap wi’ bagpipe and sporran, directly.

The Bowers Process and every trick in the book.

 

Say Ah-h!

An intellectual exercise on the nature of femininity. An ostrich fed cement will lay eggs that bend cutlery, however a feed mixture of articles and implements such as a pillow, for instance, and a feather duster, suitably ground up, produce a creature that eats everything, dances to the phonograph in such a way as to allay the wrath of the grouchiest customer, and rears delightful chicks like herself.

 

Wild Oysters

They’re out of season and need their sleep, naturally they’re argumentative.

How to keep the dog and cat engaged whilst enjoying the milk.

An Animated Antic for Max Fleischer, pure genius and a mile wide.
