A Skate for a Bride (1916)
Wilkins is happy, naturally, for it is his wedding day. The ceremony is to take place at 2 p.m. Wilkens decides that his outfit will not be complete unless he has a new pair of shoes. He buys a pair of patent leather "kicks," and goes proudly home with them. As usual, when one is in a hurry one makes mistakes. Thus did the errand boy. He mixed the parcels, and Wilkens finds that the shoes he brought home are exactly three sizes too small. This wouldn't have made any great difference had Wilkens not sent his old shoes to the cobbler's to be repaired. Even these are denied him, for the valet, who was carrying the old shoes, is robbed of them by a husky tramp. As 2 o'clock draws near Wilkens is in despair, for stocking feet are not popular at a wedding. His three friends, Tom, Dick and Harry, search the town in vain for shoes that will fit Wilkens. Fate is again unkind, for it is Saturday and the shops are all closed. Wilkens eventually has a stroke of good luck through Turner, proprietor of the local skating rink, who loans him a pair of roller skates. Wilkens arrives at the bride's house after a hard tussle with the skates, for during the two miles intervening between his bride's house and his own he goes through more exciting moments than he ever did before. Eventually the wedding bells ring out and Wilkens is glad of a chance to rest.
