Animated Snowballs

• Watchlist

Snowballs roll uphill, and men also turn somersaults up the same incline. The opinion that the film is being reversed in the running is dissipated by some attending circumstances. Most of the picture is a "chaser," a gouty old man, walking with a stick, following two young people on skates. During the early moments, an extremely skillful exhibition of fancy skating young man is shown upon a frozen pond. The old man is at all times quite too suspiciously near the skaters to give the given by a picture the realism of a chase, his halting footsteps and physical condition making that apparent at first sight.
