The Hungry Actor

• 1909
• Other, Comedy

An actor who had not seen the ghost walk for many weeks he tries his teeth on the cakes of Mrs. Newlywed who put them on the stairs for cooling. He is very much disappointed, however, as the cakes are as hard as rock, and the pie is mere leather. At last he hits upon a novel scheme. He takes a "man wanted" sign from a building operation and hangs it outside a bakery shop. Immediately he steps inside and asks for work. When he is informed no work is there he tells the proprietor to take off the sign. While the baker is outside the hungry actor satisfies his inner self.
