After the Bachelor's Ball (1909)

A bachelor after the ball is somewhat troubled with headache. He lies upon the lounge and suddenly sees the statue of Venus, which is standing in his room, getting alive. When he wants to embrace her, she vanishes. He is so mad about this that he discharges the butler who has just entered. As he is not able to attend to the house himself he advertises for a housekeeper to call on him the next morning at 10 A.M. At 10 A.M. the residence of the bachelor is besieged by women all anxious to serve as housekeeper. They break into the house, they follow him from room to room until at last they are held at bay by a fat Irish woman who drives them out and presents herself to the bachelor as his new housekeeper. The bachelor is glad to have found such a treasure, but when the Irish woman makes goo-goo eyes at him he runs away. Next Afternoon at 2 P.M. about fifty women have come to answer the advertisement. Every gentleman that passes is accosted by the women who are anxious to meet the bachelor. When he at last appears he is driven to flight by the love-crazed women and some exceedingly fine chases take place. At last he is caught. One of the women is just dragging him away when he wakes up. "Oh, such a headache!"
