  • Watch Online / Pruning the Movies (Short 1915)



    Desc: Pruning the Movies: With Carmen de Philippi, Eddie Lyons, Lee Moran, Harry L. Rattenberry. Major Bughouser gets possessed with the idea that he ought to censor the movies, so he appoints a Board of Censors, every member of which must be exactly like himself. They visit a projection room of a film manufacturing company and as the film of a stirring drama is reeled off, they order cuts made in the picture which they consider essential, and the scenes in the picture are shown as originally produced, as they appear when the Bughouser Board is through with them. The original picture was already passed by the National Board of Censors, but Bughouser orders the National Board to be cut, and shows how he would like to do the cutting himself. The last scene shows the gallant Major filling up on his usual favorite food, a large dish of prunes.
