The Farmer's Troubles In A Hotel (1902)

Synopsis

A farmer's night in a hotel is disrupted by vermin. The trick comedy builds on Méliès's A Terrible Night and The House of the Devil (both 1896) in the rube-in-the-city genre popular at the time. The restoration preserves 108 of the original 150 feet; some opening action is missing.
