The Girl in the Film (1911)
Charlie, who is a camera fiend, goes out to the part to take a few snapshots for his collection of photographs. He scouts around and gets some "dandies." Tired out, he sits down on a bench in the warm sunlight and falls asleep. In this position he is seen by a couple of young ladies, "Nan" and her friend. The friend induces Nan to have her picture takes; softly they tip-toe up to the bench and remove the camera. Nan strikes a pose, her friend snaps the shutter and that is how she got in the film. The girls put the camera back on the bench and steal away. Charlies wakes up, takes a few more photographs and starts to the developing shop to have the films developed. In the course of a day or two he goes for the films and is very much surprised to see the strange face and figure of a young girl on one of his films. At first he will not believe it belongs to him, but the photographer assures him that it does. He is attracted and charmed by the girl's face and determines upon finding the original at all costs. He walks the thoroughfares and looks into the faces of every passing female until he at last sees her with his chum, begs an introduction and secures an invitation to visit her home. He accepts and the longer he stays at her home the better acquainted they become. He lingers, and the longer he lingers the more he hates to leave. Eleven o'clock comes and he goes, as far as the front door, where he delays his going until 4 a.m., and it is doubtful that he would have gone then if Ma and the policeman had not put in their appearance and started him on his way. The next morning. What a difference. Nan lies in bed until 10 o'clock and poor Charlie has to get to work at 8 o'clock. Both are tired and sleepy; he gets very little sympathy from his fellow workers, who have evidently gotten wise to the girl in the film.
