Bromo And Juliet

Available on DVD:

After a rather strange opening intertitle card we see a group of eight gathered around a living room discussing ways to continue missionary work among the radio announcers.  The drink-happy father (Orlamond) yields the floor to his businessman son-in-law (Charley Chase) for a speech.  He proposes a horse show for the townsfolk whilst the father-in-law suggests a good old fashioned dance though his thoughts are not met with any enthusiasm by the rest of the people in the room. We cut away to see the daughter (Corliss Palmer) rehearsing a part in the play of Romeo and Juliet in an adjacent room in the house.  The family are unaware that her cries of help are part of the script and rush to assist her. Chase punches one of the actors on the chin, sending him to the floor. REVIEW INCOMPLETE.
