The Fable of the Divine Spark That Had a Short Circuit (1915)
A troupe of small-town amateurs put on a war drama at the Grand Opery House. Lila, who played the heroine, was the daughter of the poultry merchant. After the show all her friends told Lila she was a Knockout and better than a Broadway star. She had been keeping company with a boy who sold Gent's furnishing goods, but when Albert called he found her away up-stage. She wanted to be a great actress. She went to the big city and consulted an ex-tragedian who ran a dramatic school. Her father kicked in $500 to make her a star. In time she received a diploma. All she needed was a play, a company and some scenery, a manager and a theater in order to make a Hit on Broadway. At last she got a job in No. 4 company. She had a swell part. She played the deaf and dumb lady who removed the tea things in the fourth act. They hit towns that the Rand-McNally Atlas never heard of. They finally lit on a rock at a whistling point in Pa. The Great Actress came back to the scene of her triumphs without the toot of a horn. This time the boy was sure welcome. Moral: A Marriage License beats a Diploma any old time.
