For the Good of the Cause (1915)
The Newleyweds take up their home in their bungalow. Newleywed is dumbfounded, however, when Wifie receives a letter from her mother announcing her coming. Newleywed receives another blow when he learns that Wifie's mother is a celebrated suffragette, Capt. Rosie James. Wifie's mother arrives and immediately announces a series of receptions at the home of the Newleyweds. Accommodations being rather limited at the Newleyweds' home, Newleywed himself is forced to take to the bathtub to sleep, while Wifie and mother-in-law occupy the only bed in the house. Mr. Newleywed tries to break up one of the suffragette receptions by the use of the lawn hose, but meets with miserable failure. For some time he is in a quandary, but finally hits upon a brilliant plan. He brings flowers and bon-bons for the mother and endeavors to overcome her great dislike for him. She is delighted and the attentions are gladly received. However, when he brings theater tickets for two instead of taking Wifie, he takes mother-in-law. After the theater it is a bird and a bottle and they are all in when they finally arrive home. The result of it all is that next morning Wifie gets her mother's traveling bag from the bedroom and rather forcibly escorts her to the taxicab outside. Newleywed is delighted with the success of his plan and is convulsed with laughter.
