The Getting Hitched Phenomenon

This 1926 Comedy classic stands as a testament to push the boundaries of conventional storytelling.

McDougall Alley was in festive mood. Two of its favorites were to be married, the culmination of a childhood romance begun and nurtured through the years in the shadow of McDougall Alley. The McDougall Alley Kids were of course invited to the wedding which through the kindness of Miriam Tilford, beloved charity worker of McDougall Alley, was to be held in the beautiful Tilford mansion. Headed by "Bubbles" "Barney" and "Faye," the Alley Kid kut-ups arrived at the Tilford home, prepared to lend their share to the nuptial ceremonies with old shoes, rice and confetti. A long, winding staircase leading from the drawing room to the balcony, proved the undoing of the McDougall Alley Kids. Each of 'em employed the smooth wooden banister as an improvised slide, and not until a casualty had been reported, did they put a halt to their antics. It was when "Fatty," descending from the balcony, fell through the floor into the cellar. The wedding took place with the McDougall Alley Kids looking on from the sidelines. But the Kids were not to be outdone. Just before the ceremony was over, they stole outside, and hitched the wedding wagon to the trunk of a tree. This of course delayed the wedding party, and caused endless merriment to the kids.
