Synopsis

Edison summary: This film has created a decided sensation in numerous Vaudeville Theatres, Moving Picture Entertainments, and among Exhibitors both in this country and abroad. There is not a dull or uninteresting moment throughout the entire picture, while at several points the audience breaks into rounds of applause and laughter. From beginning to end the audience is kept in one continual state of expectancy while the pictures show "How Jones Lost His Roll," the letters, after much effort and manoeuvering disentangle themselves at intervals and tell the story in words. Further description is unnecessary and would only detract from the interest and novelty, the same as exposing a trick before performing it. Everyone wants to know how it is done. The film is very fine photographically, beautifully tinted, and one of the most novel that has ever been produced. No exhibitor should be without one of these films. It is sure to make the biggest kind of a hit. Fully described and illustrated in Circular No. 244.
