Mrs. Gotrox plans a novel reception for them. All the decorations are to be Indian, and the guests are to wear Indian costumes. Pokes and Jabs are seated on a freight car enjoying their scant morning repast, when the Indians arrive and ask to be directed to the Gotrox mansion. Pokes and Jabs, mistaking their actions for threats, take to their heels, followed by the two Indians. Finally they find two coupling pins, and when the Indians come up they quickly overpower them. Finding the introductions to Mrs. Gotrox, they decide to become Indians. At least long enough to satisfy the cravings of the inner man. The reception is in full blast when Pokes and Jabs arrive. As a bit of realism, Jabs proceeds to scalp the colored butler. Pokes, not to be outdone, drains the punch bowl and chases the guests and ends by scalping his hostess, exposing her bald head to the company. The two chiefs, hearing the women scream, rush in. A wild fight follows, and Pokes and Jabs flee, followed by the trusty arrows of the Indians. Written by Moving Picture World, September 29, 1917 See less
