- StarsTom RickettsThe miser Scrooge passes down a London street the morning before Christmas, on his way to his counting house. So much is he detested that no one speaks to him until a beggar approaches, asks for alms, and is angrily stricken to the ground. A spirit appears and tells the miser that the beggar will again appear that night. Scrooge approaches his counting house, and as he is entering, the beggar again appears before him. He places his hands before his eyes to shut out the apparition, and when he looks again the figure has vanished. The interior of the counting house where Bob Cratchett, the clerk, and Fred, the nephew of Scrooge, are attending to their duties. Fred announces that he has just been married. His bride, together with the crippled boy, Tiny Tim, enter the office. Looking out the window, they discover the approach of Scrooge, and at the advice of Fred the ladies conceal themselves. Scrooge enters and is told of Fred's marriage. He kisses the bride, but immediately regretting his action, orders them out of the office. They plead for a Christmas holiday, to which Scrooge eventually consents. The spirit appears and leads Scrooge from the office.

- DirectorLule WarrentonStarsMary LouiseHarold SkinnerElla GilbertThe story has to do with a crippled child, Carol Bird, the only daughter of her wealthy parents, who are proud of two strong, healthy sons, in addition. Little Carol is a hopeless invalid, and the tender love and affection of the entire family go out to her, fearing the day when the soul shall take its flight from the fragile body. Carol has a devoted Uncle Jack also, a traveler in distant lands, who cheers her by a letter, in which he promises to come home and spend Christmas with her. But little Carol has other friends, outside of her sphere indeed, but nevertheless faithful, loyal friends, who would go any length to spare her pain or to bring her pleasure. These are none other than the nine ragged members of the Ruggles family, little boys and girls who live nearby, whom Carol has often watched at play and wished that she could join them. Mrs. Ruggles, their widowed mother, toils ceaselessly to bring up this healthy brood of hers, from Sarah Maude, the elder, and the little mother, down to sturdy little Larry, the pet and pride of the Ruggles' family. Shortly before Christmas, Carol, who had been planning for some time to give a pleasant surprise to her Ruggles friends, asks her mother if she can invite them to a Christmas dinner. Mrs. Bird gladly consents, and so the letter of invitation is written by Carol and is carried to Mrs. Ruggles by Sarah Maude. The commotion which this letter creates is best told in the pictures, as are also the preparations made by Mrs. Ruggles to have her children appear in presentable condition. The mirth which these preparations create seizes the spectator with such continuous grip that he loses the sense of time and place. He is truly in the midst of it all, at times earnestly sympathizing with Mrs. Ruggles in the knotty problems that confront her and sincerely admiring the resourcefulness that overcomes every difficulty. Peory, for instance, has no stockings, and Mrs. Ruggles surmounts the difficulty by telling Clem, her eldest boy, to go out and ask Mrs. Cullen, a neighbor, to lend her a pair and to promise that Peory will give her boy Jim Cullen half of her candy. Peory flares up at this bargain, but Mrs. Ruggles settles the matter by asking: "Which would you rather do. Give Jim half your candy or go to the party barelegged?" The said stockings arc a sight, striped, not like a zebra, but black and white! "Thay'll be the makin' of you! Ain't they stylish, Peory?" Mrs. Ruggles says to that disgruntled young lady, as she surveys them with delight. Then in an aside to the other gazing members of the family, Mrs. Ruggles says confidently, "Nobody'll fergit she's got 'em on." This is only a single sample of the mirthful preparations, not omitting the dress rehearsal to which Mrs. Ruggles subjects her brood, before they depart for the Bird mansion. They are certain to delight both old and young, and people of all ages. The scene showing the Ruggles' family around the Christmas table, with Uncle Jack seated at the head and the invalid Carol looking delightedly on, will remain with everyone who sees it for some time to come. The director has seen to it that the Ruggles children eat just as they have been accustomed to eat at home, and Larry eats so ravenously that his face soon begins to pucker up with pain, which comes from an over-gorged "tummie." The closing scene is one of sadness. The merry Ruggles children have gone, laden with beautiful Christmas presents, taken from Carol's Christmas tree. In her mother's arms, the child is seized by a great faintness. "Mother, I do think we have kept Christ's birthday this time just as He wanted it done," she whispers, and then passes away.Mary Louise stars as Carol Bird, an invalid child, similar to Tiny Tim, who invites a family of poor children to celebrate Christmas with her. Harold Skinner stars as Carol's Uncle Jack, who seems to be the kind of uncle Scrooge was after his reformation.
