Summary

Pathe synopsis: A cure, at last, for one of the scourges of mankind - the telephone that rings when you are in the bath. A new machine lifts the receiver and instructs the caller to leave a message; this is recorded on tape and you can play it back at your leisure, nice and snug in your dressing gown and woolly slippers.
