Four Queens and a Jack (1913)
Jack is adept at flirting and Evelyn is a close second. He leaves a train of smiling maids and dames and angry men in his wake. He flirts with Corinne and Lee yanks her indignantly away. He flirts with all assembled until he sees Evelyn and Pa entering the hotel. He flirts with her then, but his advances have a more serious note than usual because Evelyn is very cute and pretty. Pa has trouble trying to keep Evelyn from flirting, and he constantly tells men to behave themselves Or Else. Pa sees Evelyn and Jack at it and warns Jack to clear off, but Evelyn finally manages to send a message to Jack, written on the back of one of her mother's visiting cards. Jack receives it and notes that Evelyn will join him at the pier soon. He turns the card over and sees a married woman's name and is surprised, but guesses he will wait anyhow. Meanwhile, Jack gets impatient and sends a note to Evelyn, addressed to her mother. Evelyn has already skipped, while her father takes 40 winks. He takes the note from the boy, reads it, rages, and goes. He nearly gets assaulted for tearing an umbrella away from a perfectly-innocent canoodling couple, and finally runs down the two guilty parties. Jack tries to get away and might have succeeded, only he looks around and caroms into a passerby. Pa secures him, but a diversion is created by the arrival of Ma, who has just come in. Explanations follow and Jack sees that the name on the card is Ma's. Ma intercedes and Jack is allowed to call, but the young couple are not permitted to go out. They must sit and do their flirting where Pa and Ma can keep their eyes on them.
