Chaffey College Theatre Presents "Working Hard" or "Hardly Working" Featuring Cecile and Jacob the Entz Siblings.
Black and white silent film. A person enters a room wearing overalls. They beckon in a second person who also wears overalls and carries wood, saw horses, and a chair.
The second person offers the chair to the first person, who almost sits, then stands and wipes a finger across the chair seat. The second person rushes over and uses their hat to wipe the seat, then swipes at the first persons finger. The first person sits.
The second person sets up the saw horses. They bring over a two by four board. The saw horses are set wider apart than the length of the board. As they try to set it down, it just falls between them. They try leaning it on one saw horse, then another. Tries flipping the board around.
Finally, the first person stands and places the saw horses closer together so the board rests on top between them. The second person smiles and wave them away. The first person sits again. The second person picks up the second board and walks backward to set it in place on the sawhorses. But then, finds themself trapped in the space between the two boards and the two sawhorses that form a rectangle around their body.
The first person comes to help. They each pick up a board and walk around the sawhorses and set their boards back down. The second person backs up again, and is again trapped. They try again, walking around the sawhorses in the opposite direction. Now the first person backs up and is trapped. They try again, walking in opposite directions from each other, then passing each other between the sawhorses, ending up both trapped.
The first person sets one of the boards on the ground. They look at each other, step over the board, clasp hands and dance.
One Remarkably Silly Dance Later.
The first person directs the second person to place a piece of plywood on top of the boards on the sawhorses. Then, they both move to sit down. The first person grabs the second person by the knee and drags them back to the workbench.
They hold their thumbs up and look toward the far wall. The second person walks over to the wall and holds arms open wide as if in measurement. Turns, arms still wide and sneezes. Pulls arms in to cover their mouth, then raises their head from their hands, which are only a short distance apart now. Returns to the workbench and holds their shortly gapped hands out for the first person to use as measurement for a section of wallpaper. The second person holds it up to the wall and the first person grabs it and crumples it up, tossing it away.
They throw their hands in the air and run into each other. They dance.
Back at the workbench, the first person unrolls the wallpaper. The second person holds one end and looks away distractedly. The wallpaper rolls up, and the first person brushes paste on the space where the wallpaper was supposed to be.
They try again. The second person unrolls the wallpaper, as the first one prepares the paste. The paper rolls up as the second person looks around and the paster misses again.
The third time, the first person presses the second persons hands on either side of the unrolled paper and head into the center of the paper. Then swiftly slaps the paste across the second person's face with the brush. They dance.
"Shoo-fly Pie" or "Five For Dinner" Featuring the Entz Family Players.
A black and white silent film. In a kitchen, four people stand around a table. Each has a pie on a plate in front of them. Three of them shake out their napkins and tuck them into their shirt collars. One leans forward and aims their tongue at their pie. The others lean down and shake their heads no.
The all stand straight and the one person shakes out their napkin and tucks it into their shirt as well. They all pick up their forks and spoons, then one starts to swat at the air. They all swat, then stop abruptly staring at one pie.
They set down their utensils and the person who's pie it is takes both hands and smashes them into the pie. Whipped cream flies into their face and splatters on everyone else as well.
They all start darting their eyes and heads around the space in front of them again, finally stopping and staring at one person. The person with pie on their face, grabs their pie and smashes into the second person's face.
They dart their eyes around the room again. Again stopping on the same person's face. The third person grabs their pie and smashes it into the second person's face.
Again, they dart their eyes around the room. And again they stop and look at the same person again. The person grabs their own pie and smashes it into their own face.
More darting of eyes around the room. The fourth person cups their hands onto the table and they are jerked across the room. The person stumbles around the table, then dances with the third person.
Dart their eyes around the room again and settle on the fourth pie. The person slowly picks up the pie and smashes it into their own face. The others use their spoons to scrape whipped cream off their face. The End.
Back to the announcers. One is only visible from the eyes up.
A woman sits in the dark behind a microphone. She opens a tiny door. Then, a man behind a microphone.
The woman shakes a piece of paper. Then, another woman types.
A man and a woman.
The woman opens the tiny door again. Then blows into a toilet paper tube. A man and woman stand behind microphones.
Smoke and ash waft past them.
