Dr. Garth Goode has added a motion picture theater on his lands in Caledon Burroughs. The theater is just past the Museum of Unnatural History. Don't go in if you suffer from arachniphobia.
The motion picture playing that evening was The Mender of Nets, a melodrama directed by Mr. D. W. Griffith and starring Miss Mary Pickford. Miss Pickford plays the title character, a young lady whose heart is captured by a fisherman. It soon transpires that the fisherman has had a dalliance with another lady, and the two rekindle their romance. Miss Pickford's brother discovers the perfidy and, armed with a pistol, attempts to extract revenge on the false swain.
I found it entertaining to make up my own dialogue during the film, although I am fairly certain that mine would have been censored.
I enjoyed a glass of Old Guvnah whisky prior to the main feature, and then ordered a bucket of popcorn.
Watching the preparation was a treat by itself: the corn first goes through the shuck-o-lator, then the de-cob-o-tron, and, finally, it is popped in the cornflagration. (What a delightful name!)
