The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Tiger's Cub is a lost 1920 American silent drama film directed by Charles Giblyn. It was adapted from George Potter's 1915 play staged in London. The play was novelized by George Goodchild. One review states, "It's a Klondike picture full of snow, ice, log cabins, macinaws , gamblers and much other scenery and character, but always snow in the foregrounds." Pearl White wore fashionable gowns in the film. Another review calls it a "faithful portrayal of Alaskan conditions." The six-reel drama is set in Alaska and includes a love story.
