| The silent film actors Viola Dana and Bert Lytell, wearing costumes for different productions, knock their coffee cups together in a toast that is apparently a reference to Prohibition.

| Original caption: "DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH--DECIMAL FIFTY. Viola Dana, as the heroine before her metamorphosis, in 'Dangerous to Men,' and Bert Lytell wearing the prison stripes of Jimmy in 'Alias Jimmy Valentine,' indulge in studio tableaux to demonstrate that there are bars and bars in this dry world notwithstanding the Eighteenth Amendment and the opinions of the United States Supreme Court. We can't see what's in the cups, but the two Metro stars are regarding it with something akin to suspicion. Miss Dana's next picture is a screen version of H.V. Esmond's successful stage play and Bert's is Paul Armstrong's 'crook' drama classic." |
