Two Souls with But a Single Thought; or, A Maid and Three Men (1913)
What sad havoc a maid can make with men's hearts: she can turn friends into the most bitter enemies. This is exactly what happens when Jack and Mack happen upon the fair Lillie. The young lady's beau has gone away on a business trip and she is left all by her lonesome. To pass away the lagging hours, she flirts most outrageously with Jim and Mack, two fat men, and gets lots of fun out of their frenzied pursuit of her. They first meet Lillie at a fashionable entertainment, and once fall head and ears in love with her. Secretly flattered by their attentions, she flirts with them both and fans the flame of their obvious devotion, making them extremely jealous of each other. The next day they all meet at a theater and the men buy seats on each side of the girl, who has slyly let them see the number of her ticket. During the performance they both pester her nearly to death, crowding up near her and both attempting to speak at once, absolutely crushing her between them. In spite of the discomfiture she suffers, Lillie enjoys the fun and eggs them on all manner of extravagances, their enmity growing more bitter all the while. After the day of the theater party, she sees them again and again and finally announces that she is going to Atlantic City for a month's vacation. Jim and Mack both obtain leave of absence and present themselves to her at the hotel where she is staying. Their huge size makes their billing and cooing very evident to everyone and they become the stock joke of the beach. The greatest laugh of all, however, comes at a masquerade ball, where they make most violent love to the fair damsel. Her real "knight" appears on the scene and triumphantly bears off his lady, to the great discomfiture of Jim and Mack, who are left to console themselves as best they can.
