The Caricature of a Face (1912)
Mr. George Fattie proposes to his secretary and she accepts, but he makes one condition: there should be no mother-in-law in his house. This is a heart blow to the girl, but her mother tells her to never fear, for she'll concoct a plan whereby he'll receive her with open arms. Gladly and with joy, after the Fatties' honeymoon, the mother and daughter hatch a plot. An artist's studio is visited and an order given to that gentleman for a dozen caricatures of the lady. The artist fulfills the order and the result is a dozen highly-amusing and ridiculous caricatures. In a weak moment, Mr. Fattie consents to permit the portrait of his wife's mother to be admitted to his home. Then suddenly he beholds from point of vantage, a face looking down on him, and such a face. Then one day he meets the original and the original was nothing like "that face," so he did not recognize her. Later on, the original insisted on coming into his home. This he didn't want, because he had met her as a sweet thing, and didn't want his wife to get on to his flirtatious conduct. But the sweet thing insisted and he had to make the best of it, and introduced the sweet thing as his sister. Then the wife slipped forward and said, "This is my mother," and then Mr. Fattie collapsed.
