A Mix in Masks (1911)
The Thompsons and their daughter, Nellie, had been invited to a masquerade party. The mother and father decided not to go, but had no objections to their daughter going with her friend Jack, Nellie and Jack decided to wear a Spanish costume. Just before starting for the party they came in to say good-bye to Nellies' parents. Now, Mr. Thompson loved a joke and no sooner were the young folks gone than he broached a little plan to his wife whereby they would have some fun. She agreed, with great pleasure. In accordance with this plan they ordered duplicates of the young people's costumes. As they were about the same size as Nellie and Jack they were exact pictures of them after they were dressed in the Spanish costumes. So, off they went to the party where they took good care not to be seen by Jack and Nellie. Then, when Nellie was alone for a few moments, her father joined her and, of course, she thought he was Jack, Then Jack met Nellie's mother in another room, and, of course, he thought it was Nellie. Jack ventured to steal a kiss and, of course, the supposed Nellie objected. That didn't "go" very well with Jack and he started his part of a lover's quarrel. Meantime, the real Nellie was rather provoked because the supposed Jack was so cold. She began to suspect that he didn't love her and all that sort of thing. There's no telling what might have happened if the two couples hadn't met, to the mutual astonishment of both Jack and Nellie. They all unmasked, enjoyed a good laugh and the young folks had to admit that the joke was on them.
