The Animated Grouch Chaser (1915)

Plot Summary

Dyspeptic Daniel is seated in a restaurant where he proceeds to make it uncomfortable for the rest of the diners. A copy of "The Animated Grouch Chaser" is placed before him. The first cartoon series is "Jones' Hair Tonic will Grow Hair Instantaneously." Our new friend rubs his shining pate generously with the restorer. The result is prodigious. Hair immediately crops out, and following a second application, the hair grows down over his face. When his wife sees him she shears the hair off with difficulty. Dyspeptic Daniel turns a page and finds another series, "A Duckling's Repast." A curious duckling, swims around a cake of soap which has been left on a stone in the lake. Little Ducky eats the concentrated bubbles and finally, the duckling starts to blow out soap bubbles. Mother Duck is alarmed and makes a meal of her. Of course, this is only a cartoon and the little duckling will be regenerated soon. At the conclusion, Dyspeptic Daniel is so elated that he eats everything in sight.
