No Place Like Home (1910)
After a hard and weary day's work, Silas Green is sitting in the midst of his beloved ones, seeking a much needed rest. He is the proud father of six healthy children who thoroughly appreciate their father and for that reason make him the target of their pranks. They enjoy their ring-around-a-rosie best when they can get father in the center, and little Johnny is developing a talent for lassoing and after many attempts succeeds in getting his father in the sling. Mrs. Silas Green agrees with her husband that he would be able to secure a better rest by spending a vacation in some quiet hotel, so he packs his baggage and as Sackville in the Pines holds forth great promises he makes that his destination. We all know that the cab drivers are a greedy lot and for that reason Silas decides that a brick wagon will do the same service. He is not gone very far when a wheel breaks, the jolt scattering the bricks over poor Silas. He crawls from under the wagon in a sore condition and limps on to the end of the journey. The hotel proprietor is of a rather flirty disposition who preferred to squander his valuable time on the pretty lady quests and therefore had little time for Silas. Nevertheless, he is shoved into his room and Silas starts his rest. A beautiful blonde mistakes Silas' room for hers, and seeing Silas resting on a bed, her anger has no bounds. He is pounced upon before given a chance to explain after which she is very profuse in her excuses.
