The Nightmare of a Movie Fan (1915)
Beatrice and Joe, a happy young married couple, disagree on but one thing. Beatrice is a picture fan and cherishes the photographs of all the picture stars. Her own particular favorite, however, is Charles Le Monde, and she insists on seeing him in pictures whenever possible. Joe is ordered west on a business trip, and his wife accompanies him. Arriving in California, Beatrice is invited by some lady friends to go to the studios and see how pictures are made. There she spies the idol of her dreams. However, it suddenly begins to dawn upon her, that he is not quite as popular at the studio as he is on the screen. The director bawls at him, the assistant director raves at him, and he is held in haughty contempt by the cameraman. Suddenly, in a heated row with the director, he flatly resigns and goes to his dressing room. The heartbroken Beatrice follows. Presently he emerges from the dressing room with dusty, unkempt clothes and a slouchy hat. However, the culmination of her disappointment arrives when, at the gate, the romantic Charles is met by a most unromantic female person, who has in tow several poorly-dressed children. The unhappy Beatrice goes home and contrasts the photograph of Charles with that of her husband. They mutually plead their cases, and at the finish, the picture of Charles, torn in little squares, reposes in the bottom of the wastebasket.
