There are various bits of acting injected between the cartoon subjects. Mrs. Waite chaperones her daughter and the latter's sweetheart rather severely advising them to wait until they are married before they kiss. The Grouch Chaser is produced and soon mamma is distracted from the young persons by it and the lovers are not disturbed for a time. The first cartoon is another of "The Hicks in Nightmareland." Hercules, this time, dreams that he takes a tonic which gives him great strength. He lifts a safe into a trunk with the ease of a Sampson crushing a toothpick. He wakes up to find his wife slapping his little bald head because he had talked loudly in his sleep. "The Three Loose Jointed Dancers" shows a dwarfed colored man with a silk hat, an ostrich and a skeletonic son of Terpischore tripping the light fantastic. Some clever cartoon work is also seen in "The Lovers' Version of a Chaperone." The two lovers are seated on the sofa with the ugly chaperone guarding them. Suddenly the chaperone evolves into a most hideous dragon. In this monstrous form the chaperone continues to glare at the couple through its bulging eyes, and opens the large mouth wide, showing its fangs. The dragon is then reduced to the chaperone again. The real chaperone sees the picture, and realizes that it is time for her to make herself scarce.
