Cartoons in the Laundry (1915)
Jip, the dog, in "The Kelly Kids' Kabaret" is ground into sausages before our very eyes. When the dog's natural enemy, the cat, makes fun of him after the "skin game" has been worked upon him. the indignant sausages come to life and give the sarcastic feline a run for his money, the chase ending in an artist's studio, where the hungry artist seizes the sausages and prepares to turn them into an artist, via his mouth. "The Suburbanite" is a satire on the woes of the commuter, whose troubles at home and while on his daily trips to and from the city go on, like Tennyson's brook, forever. Our old friend, Mr. Hicks, the redoubtable Hercules, soars to celestial heights, is transformed into an angel, and through a telescope, watches his termagant wife sweating over a wash-tub. Then the bottom drops out of heaven and Hercules awakes. Once more he is a mere husband, the slave of the woman he promised to love, honor, obey and support. In "Cupid vs. Divorce" we see Cupid, with the aid of a microscope, diagnosing the causes of incompatibility and, eventually, rendering divorce powerless and enforcing the law of "Everlasting Love." This time the ones who are made merry by the mirth-provoking cartoons are a quarrelsome young couple, a bad small boy and a pair of Chinese laundrymen, the action taking place in the establishment of the latter two.
