Chimmie Hicks At The Races

Chimmie Hicks At The Races Charles E. Grapewin as Hicks, a man in business suit, hat and overcoat on a bare stage in front of black backdrop pantomimes excitedly watching a horse race. An associate in the act walks in & hands him a wad of money. The man makes another bet, excitedly watches the race but this time loses everything. He gives the money to the bookmaker along w/ his watch, drops to his knees tearing up his tickets & gestures cursing & shaking fist in despair.
