TOMATOS ANOTHER DAY-1930-In this subversive, ahead of its time avant-garde short film, a woman and her lover part. He leaves his hat. The woman plays solitaire and her husband comes home. While kissing her he finds the hat. He asks if a man has been here. She says no. Then when he asks who that was who just left, she says it was her lover. He doesn't seem perturbed by this and they kiss again. The lover comes back for his hat. More senseless dialogue is spouted with phrases like the title and "cigarette life". It ends in a shooting. 

The acting and dialogue are terrible on purpose as it's supposed to be a satire on "talking pictures". It was screened only once in public and no one got the joke and it's easy to see why. The director James Sibley Watson had made a silent version of “Fall Of The House Of Usher” in 1928. He made one more short film after TOMATOS, LOT IN SODOM in 1933. You can read more about him here:
