Movie Fans (1915)
The young clerk had ambitions. He could not believe that he was destined all his life to try and make figures behave. He read of a one-time shipping clerk who devoted his time to scenarios, and was drawing down $10,000 a year therefor. The clerk knew he could write better plays than anyone else. Much of his leisure time was spent at picture houses, looking at the screen offerings. The pretty young stenographer was certain that the studios needed her to enact the difficult star roles. One never to be forgotten day, the clerk and the stenographer, who up to this time were strangers, sat side by side in a motion picture house. Each was day dreaming. When a picture flashed out showing "a famous author completing a masterpiece," it seemed to the clerk that the author was himself, and in fancy he became the great man. The girl saw the "Movie Queen" posing for a scene, and in imagination the "Queen" became herself, but, oh, so much more beautiful and artistic than the actress. As they left the theater on their way back to work after their lunch hour, two mutual friends met them, and introduced the clerk to the stenographer. It was a case of love at first sight, and the attraction grew stronger when each confessed the heights to which ambition had led them. In fancy they saw themselves the brilliant attractions of a great studio, the girl starring in the masterpieces written by the brilliant young man, once a poor and unhonored clerk. They married in time, but their dreams did not come true in the way they had anticipated. The girl had looked for fame; instead she received the earnest love of her devoted partner husband. She had expected large sums of money, and every week she took charge of the small pay envelope of her husband. She had seen herself as a stage star, the recipient of magnificent bouquets, yet more beautiful than any posy was their charming little daughter.
