Sauce for the Goose (1917)
Neal and Betty, young and happy though married, have no clouds on their horizon until the Swami Bumba appears and Betty embraces his strange religion, the mysteries of the sacred word "O-o-o-m." Neal's house is the meeting place for all the "culters" and the Swami drinks up all his liquor. Then Betty begins feeding Neal exclusively on rice, as the Swami recommends. Neal rebels, but it does no good. Neal has an idea and offers Betty an agreement providing "complete liberty of religious observance" for both parties, which Betty gladly signs. Then Neal goes to an agency, gets a bunch of chorus girls in Egyptian costume, takes them home and installs there the worship of Isis. The noise of the kettle-drums interrupts the ceremonies of Bumba, and Betty rushes into the living room to find Isis being honored by tinkling cymbals and sinuous dances. She is horrified and indignant, but Neal recalls the agreement. Bumba, seeing the jig is up, decamps with the silver, but a policeman brings him back and one of the Isis priestesses recognizes him as a former husband, who owes her back alimony. Betty is disillusioned and when Neal proposes that Isis and Bumba be fired out together, Betty is more than willing and the agreement is torn up.
