How Slippery Slim Saw the Show (1915)
Slippery Slim and his wife go to see a company of barnstormers perform in the opera house. Slim carries the baby. The barnstormers, like Shakespeare, are not bothered by details. They use a chair or a table with signs like, "This is a safe," etc., so as to let the audience in on the reasons for their acting. Slim and his wife are reveling in the drama. Mrs. Slim, womanlike, has fallen in love temporarily with the bold bad villain. But the baby raises its voice in protest, probably in sympathy with the rag doll on the stage, which is being mauled by its alleged mother and father and burglar all at the same time. So Slippery, under protest, goes outside juggling the baby. He is there when the show is ended and he is one of the thousands who was not uplifted by the drama.
