Tony Would Be a Cowboy (1911)
To begin with, the central laugh provoker is an office boy. His imagination creates howling Indians in every corner of the office; he stabs them with a screwdriver, and yells and howls like a whole tribe of Apaches. Then, his employer, coming in, beats him and he has to beat it. However, not before several volume beat around that same employer's head. We next see him in a picture house doing stunts. A cowboy picture has started with him on his mad career. He climbs over the heads of the audience and dances a jig on the piano keys, while the fair pianist ducks down in wild alarm at his hideous yells and freakish demonstrations. But a husky attendant now puts in an appearance, and lifting him bodily in his arms, ejects him from the show. But as he is fired out, he lands feet down like a frisky feline, reading his favorite "Yellow-Eyed Pete." We next see him at a costumers, knocking things topsy-turvy, and then he goes forth in true western style for the land of the Golden Sunset. Out in the western wilds he gives fill swing to his rambunctious hilarity. He startles the natives, red and white, by the joyous exuberance which oozes from him at every pore of his delirious imagination, and which finds vent and form in shootings and rough ridings, as novel as they are amazing and as startling as they are novel.
