Abstract
Two short films. The first is an edition of Pathe Topics of the Day, date unknown. The second is an animated Rube Goldberg film, Leap Year (1916).
Description
The first film, Pathe Topics of the Day, is a collection of (mostly jokey) quotes from various periodicals around the world, as selected by The Literary Digest. Followed by brief orange-tinted title card for Fleisher Brothers' film Out of the Inkwell - Modeling, which is not actually included on the reel. The reel ends with Rube Goldberg's second film, Leap Year (1916; "the story of a 47 year-old maiden who would have been more popular if all men were near-sighted"). Much of the cartoon is also tinted orange, with some untinted sections.
