Jerry The Troublesome Tyke - A Sticky Business (1926)

Animation featuring Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. A . production. We find our old friend Jerry sitting on a cushion taking mail from a mail sack, reading it then throwing it into a wastepaper basket. He laughs as he does so. We see one of the cards he opens which reads: “Sweetest Jerry. I feel I must write and tell you what a wonderful film actor you are. .“ He laughs and throws it away (bizarrely not turning it over!) He opens another. “Dear Jerry. Ever since I first saw you on the screen I have loved you passionately. Will you“ (presumably there was more to this if he had looked on the back but again he throws it away.) Interior of the cartoon studio. Real location. An easel stands in the corner with an image of Jerry on it. The artist (Sid Griffiths) comes in and sits down at his table. An intertitle flashes up: “Hullo, Jerry.“ Jerry’s reply is to hold up his hand and in a speech bubble say: “Don’t interrupt a great film star when he’s reading his letters.“
