The Flirt (1914)
After primping most carefully, the Flirt started out for a day of conquest, thoroughly impressed with the power of his charms and convinced that no woman could withstand them. Meeting Grace, he proposed a walk through the autumn woods, and they no sooner reached a dell watered by a rustling brook when, suddenly, the Flirt caught sight of Gracie as she crossed the meadow on the way to tend her cows. His sudden decision to follow this new attraction caused Grace to lose her balance, and fall into the brook. Her cries for help helped to attract him as he sped, intent upon the milkmaid's charms. Grace was quite flattered at the Flirt's attentions, when again his watchful eye spied Grace More, and started off in her direction. Here again his attention was only momentary, for Grace Full appeared on the scene, and on he scurried in her wake. Finding that she was desirous of learning how to swim, he volunteered his services, but just as she jumped into deep water he happened to catch sight of a smartly-clad figure in a roller chair and off he rushed to the bath house, leaving his charming pupil to the tender mercies of the waves, from which she was rescued by a gallant lifesaver. By this time the several Graces, reinforced by a policeman and the lifesaver, were hot upon the Flirt's trail, and they caught sight of him just after he discovered his latest charmer to be Dis Grace, a lady of pronounced color. Off he flew with the whole crowd at his heels. Finding all avenues of escape held by his pursuers, the Flirt ran out on a dock and thought to put them off of his trail by feigning suicide. A length of hose and a big stone served his purpose, as by blowing into the hose he caused most nautical bubbles to appear upon the surface of the water. He came out of his hiding place under the dock too soon, however, and was captured by the policeman, and placed in the roller chair, and trundled through the village to the merriment of the onlookers.
