The Lure of a Widow (1915)
Lucy comes to the decision that widows are the only ones able to secure a husband, so she decides to become a "widow." Becomingly dressed in black and with a big doll smothered in wrappings to resemble a baby, she descends upon a seaside hotel, with the result that every man in the place is soon her slave. She falls in love with Tom, whose wealthy uncle detests widows, and pretends "baby" is deaf and dumb. At times she forgets the doll and handles it with alarming carelessness, which causes everyone extreme wonderment, and when she goes rowing with Tom Uncle sees her dragging dolly in the water by one leg. He sets up a roar which brings a crowd, and all are horrified to see the widow suddenly heave the "baby" far out into the water and fling her arms about Tom. A dozen water heroes are on their way to the rescue in no time, but the widow just laughs and laughs, then, on return to shore, explains, and all ends happily.
