Twin Brothers (1909)

Two boys twins leave the old homestead to seek their fortune in the world They go divergent roads and are soon widely separated one from the other but they grow lonesome and try to find each others whereabouts without success We lose sight of Bill and Dick is seen up against it good and hard For him the future looks like a chalk ring on a blackboard until he happens to saunter along the Bowery where the manager of a dime museum offers him a job to play the gorilla It looks good so he accepts It is pretty sort until the astute impresario decides to pull off an innovation that is a gorilla and lion in the same cage Of course Dick objects most strenuously to this arrangement but his objections are quailed with a treacherous looking run so he is forced to share the same menagerie hallroom with the lion
