According to this film by Alice Guy, the rich don't need to go through all the pain, trouble and mess of childbirth. Instead, we see a perspective couple show up at a weird place where they have baby dolls on display. You pick the style you like and then the matron takes you to another room where they have a bunch of giant cabbages. Then, the baby you want is harvested and you take the little nipper home! Very convenient and rather funny. This compares very well to a typical film of the day--being funnier and more imaginative, that's for sure! If only this were real!! For a laugh, show this to small children when they ask "where do babies come from?".
