While selecting a book she sees the announcement of a new publication, "The Murderer of His Seventeen Wives," "A Thrilling Detective Story." She buys this book and immediately a begins to read. She is so interested in the story that she does does not notice the clerks bringing in a box filled with books. She falls over the box but continues reading her interesting book. While leaving the store she bumps into an old gentleman who is just passing. Turning the corner she falls over a cigar sign but still continues reading her "Thrilling Detective Story." She proceeds reading and throws over a book-stand. to the great delight of the passersby. She still continues reading on the street and walks into a boy who is delivering bread. She next runs into a gentleman who is coming out of his house reading a newspaper. To find a quiet spot she goes to the park, falls over the step of the music-stand, proceeds and seats herself on the railing of the stand. She loses her balance, falls upon the floor, but still continues reading. Not seeing a bench she falls over it. Glad to have a place where to sit and read, she sits upon the bench, but an automobile is passing and throws her off the bench. This does not disturb her equilibrium and she continues reading. Crossing the street, she is just in the way of the steam roller which passes over her. The people are horrified over the sight, but hardly had the steam roller passed than she gets up and continues her "Thrilling Detective Story." She now sits upon the railing of a bridge, high above the water. She is so interested in her story that she becomes excited and falls from the bridge, far down into the water, from where she is rescued while reading her book. Even this cold bath did not cool her anxiety to know the end of "The Thrilling Detective Story." Sitting home in the comfortable Morris chair, with her head bandaged, she finishes "The Thrilling Detective Story," and then pulls down the shade. Written by Lubin Motion Picture Catalog See less
