The boys try their luck at being street musicians, but the tiffs they get into with each other somehow spread to passersby in general, culminating in a bizarre, but hilarious, scene where the whole street is filled with men ripping each other's trousers off!

• Father and Son (USA, 1929) -- Jack Holt, Dorothy Revier, Mickey McBan -- Wealthy businessman and widower Frank Fields falls for Grace Moore, who in reality is only interested in Fields' money, and who leaves the man she was formerly living with, Anton Lebau, in order to marry Fields. Fields' 10-year-old son Jimmy takes a dislike to his father's new wife, who is insensitive to the boy's feelings for his dead mother, and who deliberately causes friction between father and son - eventually causing the boy to leave home.

But then a phonograph record reveals the true murderer, and father and son have an emotional reconciliation.

Playing in a small town, Rainbow falls in love with Mary Lane, the daughter of a strict hotelkeeper who disapproves of all theatrical persons. After the minstrel show to which Rainbow belongs moves on to another town, Mary belatedly discovers that Billy is the child of her dead sister! Mary goes after Rainbow, and Rainbow sends Billy to live with her, renouncing his love for her for fear of going against her father's wishes. The minstrel show is booked into a small town near Mary's, however, and Billy runs away to see Rainbow. Mary follows, and she and Rainbow are reunited.

• Square Shoulders (USA, 1929) -- Junior Coghlan, Philippe de Lacy -- Tad is a young boy living at a newsboys' home who wants to go to military school so that he can grow up to be a great soldier, like his father, who was a decorated war hero. Tad hasn't seen his father since he was a very small boy, and his mother, just before she died, gave Tad his father's Distinguished Service Cross (with his father's initials on the reverse side), whilst telling him that his father was dead. What Tad's mother concealed from him was that his father in fact survived the Great War - only to become a bum and a thief going by the name of 'Slag', who had been in and out of prison. Meeting his son by chance (who doesn't recognise him) Slag vows to do everything he can for the lad. At the same time he conceals his true identity because he doesn't want to destroy Tad's image of his father as a war hero. After robbing a factory, he uses the money to send Tad to a military academy, and he himself takes on a job at the academy's stables so that he can be close to his boy. Over time, Slag's love and affection for his son grows, and this affection is very much reciprocated by the boy. But how long will it be before Slag's criminal past catches up with him, and will Tad ever discover the truth about his father? One of the most moving cinematic tributes ever to the love between father and son.
