As the above title indicates, the scene does not take place
in an ordinary restaurant, but one in which all natural rules of order and
gravitation are reversed. The couple above mentioned have a most trying
experience while endeavoring to partake of a square meal. They find themselves
flying about the room from chairs to table, and vice versa, until they are both
completely bewildered, ending in a general mix-up, which is sure to provoke
much merriment. Written by Edison Catalog
This is a trick film, directed by Edwin Porter for the
Edison Company. It follows the pioneering work of French filmmaker Georges
Méliès, who developed special camera effects to achieve magical results. These
effects included stop motion, dissolves, and multiple exposures. The novelty of
motion pictures in the early days made these effects extraordinarily
entertaining
