Armitage]Description:Comedy/trick film. The set is a well-decorated living room of a wealthy person. The door opens and admits a rather large and irate man. He walks across to the center of the room, tears off his hat, throws it on the floor, and stamps on it. His coat and vest follow the hat. He is just beginning to remove his shirt, when, by the use of stop action photography, a spectre of death with arms outstretched menacingly appears before him. At the instant of the spectre's appearance, the man's clothes magically reappear on him. The man throws up his arms in fright and falls lifeless to the floor.Language:SilentNotes:Genre:COMEDYDetailed holdings information: -
