Victor's at Seven (1915)
It all starts when Professor Alonzo White invites his wife to dine with him at Rector's at seven that evening. About the same time, tired businessman Hughey White is mistakenly switched to the same telephone wire with chorus girl Fifi Fluter. After a little flirtatious conversation, he invites her to supper at the same place at seven that evening. Both men order private dining rooms. Because of an error and change in headwaiters, Mrs. White, a big, strapping woman, is ushered into Hughey's room, while the Professor gets the room where Fifi is waiting. Hughey is mistaken by the muscular Mrs. White for a masher and she has him put out. The headwaiter explains the mistake and both go to Fifi's room. Seeing her husband there, Kate makes a rush for him, but he scampers into a private apartment belonging to Harry Horton and his wife. There he is discovered behind a screen and comes near being shot, but on explaining it was all a mistake, the badly-scared man is invited to sit down and have a bottle of wine. Meanwhile, Nick Hotstuff, Fifi's jealous lover, invites himself to Hughey's little supper in Fifi's room and proves a veritable specter at the feast, making the affair very slow for Hughey. Later, Mrs. White interrupts a miniature cabaret performance, the Professor (now feeling greatly exhilarated from the wine) and Mrs. Horton are giving in the ballroom, and an exciting chase in taxis follows. Mrs. White is arrested for not having fare money, while the Professor gets mixed up with a burglar, and being found with a sack of plunder in his bewildered possession, is likewise pinched. Meanwhile, Nick secures a terrible revenge on Hughey which, after a series of embarrassing incidents, terminates in the whole bunch being taken to the police station. Explanations and humble repentance become general. Quiet is finally restored, and after imposing some goodly fines, together with much excellent advice, the magistrate unites in marriage Nick and Fifi, after which the various couples go away happy.
