Her Hero Maid (1916)
At the last performance of the season the leading man is attracted by the appearance of a "peach," sitting in the audience. The "peach" notices the handsome man and immediately falls in love with him. The next day Billie's mother sends her downtown to advertise for a maid, as the regular girl has left. While she is in the store Lee comes in and recognizes her as the "peach." He learns from the clerk that the girl is advertising for a maid. The girl recognizes the handsome leading man and on the way home buys one of his portraits. Lee has had quite a bit of experience in female impersonations, and decides to try for the job of maid. Out of many applicants he is selected by the mother, and immediately starts his duties. The maid's service is satisfactory. Billie confides her admiration for the handsome leading man to the maid and is surprised by the sudden affection of the aid, displayed toward her. The butler tries to flirt with the maid and receives a jolt and tells the other servants that the new maid has an awful punch. Mr. Simps was a rich young man and a persistent caller at the house of the "peach." While mother had favored him to a certain extent, Billie detested him but was unable to get rid of him. Shortly after the new maid takes charge, Mr. Simps pays a visit and becomes very affectionate towards Billie. Her calls for help reach the maid and he goes to her assistance, takes Mr. Simps by the collar and deposits him out in the yard. They all compliment the maid on her wonderful strength. The maid learns of Billie's plans and when he is off duty sneaks home and then changes to his regular clothes and meets the girl. While she is bashful at first, the two finally become very chummy and spend several happy evenings in the park. At last Lee decides to remove his disguise at the house instead of his hotel, and is seen entering the room dressed in man's clothes. Billie's mother thinks he is a burglar and calls a policeman. They all go into the room and Lee is discovered dressing in the clothes of the maid. The deception is found out and while the mother is angry at first she decides that there is some excuse for his devotion because he was willing to do the duties of a maid in order to be nearer the girl he has admired.
