The Barfly (1916)
Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed receive an invitation to a mask ball to be given at the Clarendon Hotel, and a prize is to be given for the most novel and unique costume. In order to surprise each other they refuse to divulge what their respective costumes will be until the night of the ball. Mrs. Newlywed has her costumes already picked and Mr. Newlywed is puzzled what to wear. Upon going to the office that morning he passes a "Weary Willie" and is immediately impressed with his make-up. He induces him to go into a saloon with him and have a drink. Newlywed's idea is to get a suggestion for his make-up for the costume ball. That night while the ball is in progress Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed make up in their costumes for the ball. The tramp also arrives, and while Newlywed is away for a moment Mrs. Newlywed mistakes the tramp for her husband, and taking him to the ball, starts complications, which cause the tramp's arrest. Newlywed is afterward arrested by the police and they all meet in the police station. Explanations make everyone happy.
