Matches (1913)
Rare matrimonial catch Jack Kerrigan arrives at the rich widow's mansion in a snappy roadster with an English chauffeur driving. He is introduced to Jessalyn Van Trump as his logical choice, but with the perverseness that ever characterizes Cupid, he promptly falls in love with Miss Oldrock, daughter of a wealthy widower who is pledged to remain single until his daughter marries. Now Miss Van Trump, as Jack's chosen one, falls in love with her own chauffeur, a horrible situation truly, but wonderfully relieved by the discovery of Jack's English chauffeur that the family driver is the scion of English aristocracy--a condition most appealing to Louise Lester, who plays Miss Van Trump's mother. The chauffeur and Miss Van Trump are united and fail to tell mamma until the happy event is performed. Mamma is delighted to find that her chauffeur is an English nobleman. This makes it easy for Jack in his suit for Miss Oldrock. Oldrock, who has been paying hopeless attentions to Miss Van Trump's mother, is pleased to have his daughter marry Jack, because it absolves him from his promise not to marry until his daughter does.
