Aunt Elsa's Visit (1913)

Aunt Elsa, Mr. Moore's old-maid sister, writes that she is coming to visit. The Moores have no cook and the day Aunt Elsa is to arrive, a party is on hand and the house is at sixes and sevens. 12-year-old Bobby Moore is commissioned to meet her at the railway station, much to his disgust. His father gives him a dollar and a half for lunches and carfare and his mother and sisters tell him to keep Aunty out all day. Aunt Elsa is met by her young nephew, and his eyes are opened in astonishment for he does not find her a typical old-maid aunt, but a middle-aged woman full of life and spirit. She refuses to ride in streetcars and calls a taxi. She gives Bobby the time of his life, and upon reaching home, what does she do but impersonate the new cook.
