Prompt Payment and Stealing a Ride
''Prompt Payment'' and ''Stealing a Ride'' are two 1911 American silent short comedy films produced by the Thanhouser Company. ''Prompt Payment'' focuses on a lawyer who evades his creditors, dons a disguise and plays against them in a game of poker. After winning a large sum of money from them, he excuses himself and returns to pay them with their own money. ''Stealing a Ride'' is listed as a comedy, but has a clear dramatic element. Susie and Johnnie are out sledding when Susie's parents are about to go out for a sleigh drive. The children ask to come along, but are refused. The children hitch their sleds to the back of the sleigh and follow along, only to fall off and get lost in the woods. The parents later track them down and bring them home. Both films were released together on a single reel on January 27, 1911 and were met with praise by critics. Both films are presumed lost.
