Fun in a Bakery Shop

Edison summary: Another side-splitter. Shows a bake shop and baker at work. A rat runs along the floor and climbs up one of the flour barrels. The baker spies the rat, seizes a handful of dough, throws it at him, completely covering his body and sticking him fast to the barrel. The baker then begins making busts of different celebrities, such as Buffalo Bill, Admiral Schley, and others. It is marvelous to see how quickly a face is formed out of the pliable dough. Finally he makes a very comical Irishman with cocked hat, clay pipe, and Donegal whiskers. By one twist of the dough the Irishman's face is changed from a broad smile to an expression of disgust. Two Irish bakers now appear on the scene, seize the offender and dip him into a barrel of flour. When drawn out, he is completely covered with the white meal, but having filled his mouth with flour, he blows it into the eyes of the two bakers, who fall to the floor in a heap. Other comical things take place, too numerous to mention.
