Mr. Mix at the Mardi Gras (1910)

Mr. and Mrs. Mix arrive in New Orleans and locate at a fashionable hotel. Mix is impressed with the fair Elaine, just arriving in a taxi. She recognizes in him an easy victim. Café de tour is suggested and accepted. Her appetite and familiarity with the refreshment list causes Mix to check up his cash account. He finally resorts to the office clerk, in an effort to raise more on his check. He does so, returns and finds the fair Elaine has enjoyed his wine and departed on the arm of a handsomer man. Mix lands on the sidewalk, much the worse from wear and tear, repairs to the hotel and is met by his wife. She upbraids him, locks his clothes up and turns the key in the door. He finally escapes through a window and falls in the rain barrel, repairs to the costumers and emerges in the crowd in search of his lost amorita, and encounters a strenuous evening, full of ludicrous situations.
