Titles read: “Camera Interviews. Matheson Lang, off-stage and on. Many millions are familiar with Mr. Lang’s appearance on-stage, but our Cameraman caught an unconventional ’shot’ of him at home - not forgetting ’Lassie’, the dog.“ Location of events unknown. Various shots of actor Matheson Lang in his garden. He plays with his dog, then putts a golf ball across his lawn. Lassie sits beside Matheson as he tells us a story about a snuff box that was given to him during the long run of ’The Wandering Jew’ in London. A lady gave it to him, saying it had been in her family for years. In Tunis, her great-grandfather had found an old man lying in the road and took him home. They arrived at the man’s house, a huge place full of treasures in every room. The old man told the Englishman he was the Wandering Jew and gave him the snuff box. Matheson says ever since he has had the box, he has had good luck and is getting quite superstitious about it. Intertitles explain how Matheson Lang is associated wi
