Getting Sister Married (1911)

Paul Harvey is in love with pretty Margaret Cameron, but the match is objected to by Margaret's father, who states that they cannot get married until Margaret's eldest sister Jane is happily wedded. Jane is a spinster and about ten years behind the style of dress, so to Paul and Margaret it seems little likely of their ever getting married. However they have not observed that Senor Vacher, the music teacher to the Misses Camerons is sweet on Jane and Paul, hoping to palm off the unlucky Jane on one of his bachelor club friends, does not consider the Senor in the running at all. Paul first tries out a young friend of his, but as soon as this latter sees Jane's old fashionedness, he makes haste to get away. Paul then enlists three others and after all have failed the young people give up in despair. But as the last suitor is pleading his ease the music teacher returns and in his jealousy makes the revelation that Jane and he have been secretly wedded for the past six months and the only reason for the secret was the fear of disapproval of Jane's father. Of course, this makes the road clear for Margaret and Paul, and the happy quartette seek the parental blessing. Needless to say, father congratulates them and if there is any one unhappy it is the one poor suitor who had made the Senor jealous.
