Putting It Over (1911)

George Moore, the celebrated impersonator, is in his dressing room after his turn at the theater when he receives a card bearing the name Miss Gertrude Austin, and on the back of which is written the information that she will await him at the stage door. He finds her to be an exceptionally pretty girl and accepts her invitation to accompany her home. Arriving there he is introduced to her father, but the latter will have nothing to do with the actor and orders him out of the house. Moore goes, but promises Gertrude he will see her again and will call disguised as the chauffeur. In the costume he is found making love to the girl by her father, who, thinking that Moore is the chauffeur, discharges him. The next time Moore calls he is disguised as the gardener and the same scene is again enacted. The third time, however, Moore calls disguised as the butler and after fooling the old man until the latter is nearly out of his head, he tears off his disguise and shows who he is. The old man laughs in spite of himself and the young couple take advantage of his momentary good humor in making him promise to permit them to marry.
