Two small commercials advertising the department store Magasin du Nord. The first is proclaimed to be ‘An amusing little film recorded by Nordisk Films Kompagni’ with the title ‘The Golden Dream’. Having seen a fashion show in Magasin du Nord, the lady of the house dreams of owning a dress from the store’s model salon. She entreats her husband, who sticks to his ‘no’. After a long and scary dream in which he is being chased by mannequins from the Model Salon because he does not want to give his wife a dress, he changes his mind. Very fittingly, the wife seized the opportunity presented by her husband’s nap to visit Magasin du Nord and buy exactly the dress she wanted.
This is followed by an excerpt from the Storm P. film ‘Peter and Ping in the Department Store’.
The cartoon was made by the popular Danish cartoonist Robert Storm Petersen, popularly known as ‘Storm P’, who created some of Denmark’s very first cartoons, among many other things. His distinctive humorous tone and style shine through in these short, early cartoons.
