Believe It or Not #4 (1930)

** (out of 4)

Robert L. Ripley is back with more stories of the strange, weird and unbelievable. Stories in this fourth edition include a blind man who built a two-story house, a toothless man saying the biggest word in the vocabulary (184 letters) and a woman who tattooed her husband's picture on her tongue. This is the weakest of the first four shorts in the series because a lot of the stories are either animation or drawn on a board. The longest word is done live but it's hard to understand what the word is or its meaning. Another story includes a 1890 baseball play where a batter hit the ball, which wasn't a home run until it hit the outfielders head and bounced over the wall. Jose Canseco would do this nearly one-hundred years later of course. The best thing we get to see is a man who has such large hands that he can pick up 12-pool balls with one hand.
