Bobby as a Guardian Angel (1912)

This is a very interesting little comedy, wherein Bobby's father receives an invitation to dine out with his friends. Bobby knows that his mother objects to his father's outing, so by auto suggestion, he persuades his father that his (the father's) head is swelling visibly, and that he looks as ill as can be. The mother comes in and supports Bobby's contention. Bobby, who has padded his father's hat, gets him to try it on, and needless to say, it does not fit. Much delay is thus brought about, until the father is too late for the appointment. Meanwhile, the doctor is called in, who laughs at the father and says he is quite well. Then Bobby takes the padding out of the hat, and the hat fits. The father then realizes, to his disgust, the practical joke that has been played upon him, but the domestic peace is thus maintained.
