Irene's Infatuation (1912)

Irene and Helen are worshipers at the shrine of Frangiapani, the tenor of the hour. When he sings at a concert, they meet in Irene's room, take the printed program of the concert, and one of them plays the accompaniment of the song he is actually singing. Irene sees an advertisement for a maid and waitress at Madame Frangiapani's home. The wild thought enters her brain that if she applies and gets the position, she will be nearer her adored. She puts the plan into execution, gets the position, and is waiting for the signor to appear. He does appear in a towering rage, at an adverse criticism in a paper which he is holding in his hand. His wife tries to soothe him and treats him like a little, unreasonable, bad-tempered child. Irene grows more and more disgusted with her one-time idol. Finally, when the signor has almost caused his wife to fall by a petulant shove. Irene empties the footbath which was about to be administered to the furious singer, over his head, and in the terrific excitement which follows, she escapes to her home where she tells Helen her experiences.
