...island, Dr. Moreau regards him as a suitable mate for his artfully constructed "panther woman." The romance progresses nicely until the castaway notices that the panther woman's finger nails are claws. Finally the castaway's fiancée comes to rescue him, accompanied by a drunken sea captain...
Heinrich, enormously fat, drunken, gluttonous Duke of Liegnitz, was a contemporary of England's Queen Elizabeth, but he never gave her a thought until his last legs were wobbly. Only thing that kept him from drinking his duchy dry and getting himself kicked out was his timidly pessimistic Counsellor, Schweinichen.

To the left lies Groucho Marx as a dead trumpeter. In the lower right-hand corner Charlie Chaplin, as a drunken priest, is clutching a bottle of champagne and refusing a drink of brandy from Vivandière Marion Davies. In the background a staff officer is apparently trying to keep a charging regiment of cuirassiers (copied from Meissonier's Friedland) from trampling the entire assemblage underfoot. Three years...
