Mysterious Cafe, or Mr. and Mrs. Spoopendyke Have Troubles with a Waiter

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. The film was a Vitagraph production filmed somewhere between late 1899 and September 1900 at the company's rooftop studio in New York City, but later acquired and copyrighted by the Edison Company on December 1901.
