Three Christmas Dinners (1909)
Three small boys whose ambitions are greater than their appetites, hit upon a clever scheme for prolonging the Christmas feasting. They find that different dinner hours make it possible to attend three functions. They set out to perfect their plans and each in turn introduces his playfellows to his mother with the doleful tale that they are to have no Christmas dinner at their home and the request that they be permitted to share the home dinner. Each of the three members returns a ready assent and presently we see them hugely enjoying the first of the feasts. The board groans with the weight of good things which rapidly disappear under the valiant attack of the youthful trio and they hurry off to the second dinner with joyous anticipation. But, somehow, the second dinner does not taste as good as the first: they stop with the second helping of turkey and only have ice cream three times. Still worse is the third dinner. The hospitable hostess is alarmed at their lack of appetite and anxiously urges them to eat, but they push their plates listlessly aside and are glad when they are excused from the table. You can guess the rest, a lively climax to a most attractive story; one that will more than hold its own with other Christmas releases.
