Three girls seeking to have their fortunes told invite a witch over. When the girls' father offends the witch, she puts a hex on him and his matches.

This time the trouble is with Snookums and the telephone, and his father has a real struggle to satisfy him.

Watching the dial of a taxi-cab is like a fall on a slippery pavement. It is funny, only when the other fellow suffers.

Papa Newlywed and his lovely wife looked up at their child apprehensively. Yes. Their own precious Snookums was on the warpath again

A Émile Cohl animated short in The Newlyweds series.

Snookums Newlywed makes acquaintance with a dog.

What does 'ittle Snookums want now?

Part of Émile Cohl's Newlyweds series, based on George McManus' comic strip.

And now our funny little friend, Snookums, has started real trouble for his poor Dada. A few of the neighbors and Dada were having a nice quiet little game when the door-bell rang and when Snookums' beautiful mother went to the door, she found the minister.

When "Snookums" discovered this break in the pipe and the splashing water, he thought it was great fun to sit there and let the water spray over his nice clean clothes.

Tim Clancy was a politician. He was a contractor incidentally. He wanted and secured, by breaking down a good man's moral code, the contract to build the new city water system. Specifications called for the best. He put in the cheapest.

Dada has made arrangements to go to a fancy dress ball, and has secured a wonderful costume.

Poor little dear! This time our little Snookums is in real trouble. No, he was not ill, but, believe me, he was unhappy.

Newlywed buys a camera and attempts to photograph the kid.

When "Snookums" started to cry, Da-da thought it was because there was no milk in the house, and so he started on a run to the nearest store.

Snookums is being amused by the neighbor's kid next door, who gracefully stands on his head for minutes at a time.

Robin Hood is a 1912 film made by Eclair Studios when it and many other early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based in Fort Lee, New Jersey at the beginning of the 20th century. The movie's costumes feature enormous versions of the familiar hats of Robin and his merry men, and uses the unusual effect of momentarily superimposing images different animals over each character to emphasize their good or evil qualities. The film was directed by Étienne Arnaud and Herbert Blaché, and written by Eustace Hale Ball. A restored copy of the 30-minute film exists and was exhibited in 2006 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

A lost film. "The Beaten Path" was a 3-reel 3000-foot film produced by the Eclair company in the United States. The film was directed by O.A.C. Lund, and starred Barbara Tennant, O.A.C. Lund, Alec B. Francis, Julia Stuart, Will E. Sheerer. It premiered in August of 1913. Plot summary from "Moving Picture World", August 23, 1913: "This three-reel picture has many big situations in it. In the cast are some of the company's best players: Alec Francis, Julia Stuart, Barbara Tennant, Will Sherer, O.A.C. Lund, Hector Dion, and others. The story is of a family feud between two families, the heads of which quarrel over a boundary line. The main scenes are laid about large mansions, but there are others in an atmosphere of the Northwest, in primitive surroundings. "The Beaten Path" is a real feature."

Dr. Alexander is dedicated to his young wife Isabel, but she craves a more exciting life and the company of younger people. This creates a rift between them with Isabel becoming increasingly distant. At a social gathering, she meets the artist Jack Welby and is drawn to him. As their relationship deepens, she considers eloping with him.
