Rooney's Sad Case (1915)
On receiving his regular Saturday envelope, Rooney discovers in it a pretty blue slip containing the notification that his services are no longer required. With dreary visions of Mrs. Rooney ordering him out of the house and telling him to stay out until he gets a job, poor Rooney dares not go home. From a newspaper headline he decides to adopt the "lost memory" plan, particularly when, on reading down the column, he finds the party referred to completely forgot his past and married a beautiful heiress. Renting a flashy suit from a second-hand clothing store run by a little Jewish man, he takes his stand near the park driveway and when a beautiful heiress comes by, plans to place a big rock on his head and yell for help. After he lets several Fords go by, a big car draws near and Rooney does his little stunt, with the result that the wealthy gentleman in the auto takes him home; when the doctor pronounces Rooney's mind blank, his host leaves him to the tender nursing of his soft-voiced daughter Kitty. Rooney's eyes are mercifully bandaged, so he imagines that she's beautiful. But a charming romance is interrupted by his wife's entrance. When Rooney sees Kitty's face, he nearly faints--and regains his memory in a hurry. Mrs. Rooney takes him home without ceremony and Rooney's pipe dream is shattered.
