A Double Elopement (1914)
The Smalleys had just moved to town and were receiving the customary courtesy calls from their new neighbors when brother Jack became quite interested in Mrs. Downs, and it soon became evident that his interest was reciprocated. Jack's daughter May was away from home, attending a co-educational school, and Mrs. Downs' son, Charlie, was at the same institution. The two young people became acquainted and in time this friendship became more serious. Meanwhile both the widow and widower tried to hide the fact that each had a grown child. The courtship was progressing splendidly and both Jack and Mrs. Smalley were harking back to the days of their youth, when the destruction of the school by fire brought the young people home unexpectedly. Jack was quite surprised at having May appear on the scene and as Charlie disguised himself in order to fool his mother, and prevailed upon her to go downtown with him to see how many of his old friends would recognize him in a full beard, it so happened that Jack caught sight of them. Thinking that he had a rival, he immediately proposed to the widow and an elopement was decided upon. Charlie and May had decided upon the same means of solving their difficulty, and the two couples met at the train. Explanations followed and, as a double elopement was decided upon, they all boarded the train together and started off to the city. The rapid action of this comedy, coupled with the splendid character impersonations throughout, gives it a charm all its own, and will insure for it an enthusiastic reception everywhere.
