| Description: | FUN IN 1897 Old comedy/trick film. "Mysterious Coat and Hat" with new titles added in 1920s. Interior scene; drawing room. A comic clownish man (with fuzzy Bozo type hair on sides; bald on top) enters. He takes off his hat; sets it on a stool; and it jumps up and down a few times. He puts it back on head for a sec; then sets it on table and starts to take off his coat. He gets his coat off and finds his hat has appeared back on his head. He takes his hat off and mysteriously the coat has reappeared on his back. This goes on a while; with the man becoming increasingly agitated; jumping and kicking. He finally gives up and goes out wearing both. Slapstick; silly; wacky; funny; magic. | |
