Cartoons in the Kitchen (1915)
Andy Estes has just returned from the store with a copy of the Grouch Chaser, which he gives to the cook. It is raining, and Andy inadvertently places his rubbers on the table, next to the carrots for the soup. The cook reads the Grouch Chaser and in a minute is in spasms of laughter. She first turns to "Hot Off the Pen," in which the old couple in bed are annoyed by a dog who persists in singing to them. The dog listens to a band-man play on a huge brass instrument, and decides that he has music in him. The artist runs short of ink, and looking at the dog, sees he has swallowed the bottle. The cook is convulsed with laughter, but continues to neglect the soup and goes on reading. "Nightmareland" next greets her gaze. The baseball fan has a dream in which he sees himself batting against a star pitcher. The pitcher serves up all kinds of grapevines and fadeaways and the fan strikes out. The cook, without taking her eyes from the book, drops Andy's rubbers into the soup. In the meantime Andy and his parents are waiting for dinner. "Dr. E.Z. Bear" is the next cartoon. He treats a hippopotamus with pills which have to be shoveled into Lady Hippo's mouth. Instant relief is noted. By this time the angry father comes out and demands the dinner. The cook serves soup in which Andy's rubber has been boiling. The whole family then takes the book and sees "Tom, the Tamer." Tom is blowing his brass instrument, and the elephant, wishing to help him fill "that thing with wind," blows through the other end of the horn. Tom is inflated to four times his size. The elephant then supplies a vacuum cleaner and draws Tom, not only back to his natural size, but into the cleaner.
