Never Again (1908)

A comedy of excellent merit has been made out of this very popular and well fitting expression. How often have you allowed yourself to do something and then vowing to never again repeat the experience? .Such is the case in this subject with our principal character, who, after tolerating the excessive heat all day, thinks he sees an avenue of escape when he reads a circular announcing that you should "Keep Cool by Going to Coney Isle.'' He makes up his mind to go, little imagining he would have been better off had he stayed at home. He hires an auto to take him to the boat landing, but it breaks down and he has to help in an endeavor to pull it out of a hole. He does not succeed in doing this, and in order to catch the boat he has to run, managing to get the boat as it is leaving the pier. The boat is crowded and he is squeezed to a pulp by two very fat women. Finally he arrives at the island, and after that has all kinds of trouble, which continues until he makes up his mind that he has had quite enough of "Cool Coney Isle.'' He starts home, and then finds all boats and cars have gone and he has to hoof it. When he arrives in the city he spies a sandwich man advertising the cool breezes of "Coney Isle." And what he does to that sign is a caution.
