The Elite Ball (1913)

The small colored folks give a ball and Rastus is engaged to play the banjo. Amusing scenes are shown of the various dances, and Rastus wins the belle away from her escort, and when the latter remonstrates he is quickly silenced by Rastus' frowning countenance behind a huge razor. Rastus is king of the situation until the escort bethinks himself of Rastus' wife, for whom he sends, and who arrives upon the scene like a bristling battleship and it is a very meek Rastus who is led out by the ear.
