Wallace Beery, Charlotte Mineau and Robert Bolder are the principals in "The Fable of Another Side-Track and the Fatal Album." The mother of the girl that Oscar wanted had a good heart, but took no medals for looks. The whole family was in favor of Oscar because he looked like ready money. When talk began to run low, Hazel pulled the family album on him. He thought he had spotted a picture of Hazel, but no, it was a picture of mother when she was nineteen. Oscar figured that if Ma looked like this thirty years ago, Hazel would be a ringer for her thirty years from now, so he eased off. Moral: Cut out the Album Stuff. Bill Smith and his cousin, J. Edgar Smythe, were medical students. Bill worked like a dog while Edgar plunked a mandolin. Bill graduated with all honors. Edgar just skinned through. They began to practice. Bill was a good fellow, so was called "Doc," while Edgar was known as a specialist and had the aristocrats on his staff. He coined money. Bill's office was filled with the poor and needy who couldn't pay, but nevertheless they received treatment. Moral: Some people still insist that it pays to be on the square.
