A Couple of Side-Order Fables (1915)

The first comedy is about Fastidious Fannie, the only child of a banker, and fair to look upon, so the young men came buzzing around to try to cop her off. She was all for propriety, and as fast as the suitors put in their appearance, she put the blue tag on one after another, simply because he didn't come up to her standard of propriety. Finally the whole bunch was in the scrap heap; then it dawned upon her how foolish she had been. Moral: Marry him and roast him afterwards. The second fable is about Azalea and her Celebrities. Azalea loved to dig up a genius every day or two and bring it home and feed it. She was so daffy about Celebrities that her patient husband finally rose up and went into the same thing. He went to the burlesque theater and brought the Queen of the Chorus home with him for dinner. From that time on the Celebrity's chair was vacant. Moral: You can't make a High-brow out of a tired business man.
