When He Lost to Win (1913)

Ramona and mamma arrive at the seashore hotel. So does Eddie, who proceeds to fall in love with the girl. Eddie makes a wager with his friends that he will win her friendship without an introduction. Eddie ogles, but is snubbed, and then snubbed again. Friends have considerable fun at Eddie's expense. Eddie secures from one of his girl friends a dress, and donning this and a wig he has little trouble in making the acquaintance of Ramona, who is glad to have a girl companion. Later, in the hotel, the girl discovers the deception and decides that two can play at the same game. She dresses as a boy. Eddie, thinking it a good joke to be mistaken for a girl, consents to go for a walk with the nice looking fellow. Ramona pulls the wig from Eddie's head and chases him into the lobby of the hotel. After a shower of ridicule the boy pays up his bet. Eddie tries to apologize to Ramona, but she ignores him. Eventually, however, they make it up and everything points to a pretty romance.
