 |  Ham and the
 Sausage Factory
 (1915) United States of America
 B&W : One reel
 Directed by Marshall Neilan
 Cast: Lloyd V. Hamilton (Lloyd Hamilton) [Ham], Bud Duncan [Bud], Charles Inslee [Schweitzmeier, owner of the sausage factory] Kalem Company, Incorporated, production; distributed by The General Film Company, Incorporated. / From a screen story by Marshall Neilan. / Released 12 February 1915. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format. Comedy. Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 27 February 1915, page ?] Lively action with plenty of slap-stick humor should make this film a popular attraction. The idea has been used often enough, but not in precisely this form. Two hoboes feed dogs to a machine that grinds out completed sausages, retaining the color of the original dog and some of the animation. Unquestionably, the picture will excite laughter.
