Jasbo hadn't made a sale in months, and he rushed downstairs as hard as he could go, and called the expressmen to the job. It certainly was hard luck for Jasbo that Jake and Joe should have been within hearing, for after boxing up his work of art, and carrying it safely down six or seven stories, they dropped the whole thing down the last flight of stairs. Panic-stricken, Jasbo forced the two expressmen to don the garb of ancient Roman warriors, while he prepared a whitewash bath for them. Then he jammed them into the box, and sent them off to the garden party. Claribell was awaiting her work of art. Jasbo had to lure her away while the two gladiators clambered out of the box and set themselves up on the pedestal at the head of the refreshment table. Jake and Joe made beautiful statues until the eats were passed. Then they could not resist trying for their share of the spoils. They are discovered, and Claribell's guests, thinking that she has been making game of them, all leave in a huff. When she returns to wreak vengeance on the statues, they are not to be seen. Before she reappears, Jasbo has arrived and set up the real statue in their places; he meanwhile having repaired them. She doesn't know what to think, while down in the corner of the garden the pseudo-gladiators are feasting on chicken and champagne. Written by Moving Picture World, September 29, 1917 See less
