Undressing Extraordinary or The Troubles of a Tired Traveller

THIS is an exceptionally fine edition of an already popular and entertaining subject. It represents an hotel bedroom into which enters a gentleman in evening dress. His efforts to disrobe only result in each costume successively changing into another and more extraordinary one. As he tears round the room, violently endeavouring to strip off one after another, to retire to rest, his antics are most extraordinary and varied. At last, thinking himself successful, he goes towards the bed, when a skeleton suddenly appears on the pillow. Attacking the skeleton, the latter goes through a number of marvellous changes. Eventually he gets into bed, but as soon as he is between the sheets, again finds himself in evening dress. The bed disappears suddenly, leaving him seated on the floor, and the bedclothes rain down from the ceiling until, by the bursting of a pillow, he is drowned in a shower of feathers.
