A Thing or Two in Movies (1915)
Selina Tubbs and Chubby Green, after taking a correspondence school course in the art of motion picture acting, practice in a field where Chubby hits Selina over the head with a club much to the consternation of Constable Plum, who is alarmed by their actions. Bill Hardup, his charming leading lady, and a movie camera man enter Bloom Center, where the Bloom Center Motion Picture Company is formed with Selina Tubbs and Chubby Green in important roles. As the photoplay progresses, the scenario calls for Hardup to get a check cashed, and he tells the bank president that it will be all right to slip out real money during the taking of the scene. When the banker passes out the money, Hardup makes his getaway and with the leading lady and the camera man makes his escape from Bloom Center. A note is discovered on Hardup's camera which states that the people will see the picture as soon as it is censored. Two weeks later the Bloom Center populace receives the film and all repair to Melodeon Hall to see it presented. Suddenly the entire action on the screen turns perpendicular and all fall off their seats trying to see it. When the picture is finally righted, the scene that is flashed is that of Constable Plum and the movie leading lady making love. Plum jumps from his seat and flees from the hall, and his wife and others follow him. The picture ends with him headed for the country and going at full speed.
