SLIDING SCALE
M30657 I REEL
Featuring LAUREL and HARDY

Take one large gorilla, two prize chumps, one small piano and a ricketty swing
bridge, place them all high up in the Alps and you have the setting fo,r this
first-class little comedy. Laurel and Hardy, waiters at a big hotel, are instructed
to move a piano to a small cabin high in the mountains. At the best of times
this would be quite a job, but with Laurel seeing double the task becomes almost
impossible. With only a few pieces of rope and a number of jnsecure boards
between them and a drop of thousands of feet- this is the time they choose to
meet the gorilla. "What happens?" the answer's in the "infirmary"!

CHEESE HEADS
C30658 I REEL
According to Laurel the best place to sell mouse-traps is at a cheese factory.
Armed with their latest mouse-trap invention he and Hardy .go to Switzerland
to demonstrate it. Their idea, like most of the Laurel and Hardy sc;hemes is
wonderful on paper-but in practice-well !! The method really is simple-
just the same as Laurel and Hardy. It's a "corking" little film which will certainly
make you "holed" your sides with laughter.
The two films have been taken from the sound film T9698 Swiss Miss

L30642 LEGGO I REEL
Once again we go back to the good old days of slapstick comedy - to the
days when Harry Langden was a shoe salesman always getting the order of the
boot. It's Harry's job to serve the ladies but he finds that this can have its
complications.
