The Hypnotist (1911)
Swengaully, a hypnotist, endeavors to win the love of Mrs. Morgan, a young widow, from Sam Patch, her promised husband. Sam calls and finds her under the influence of the hypnotist. He goes to Swengaully's house to warn him to keep away from the widow, but finds that his rival is still at Mrs. Morgan's. While waiting at Swengaully's home he discovers a book on hypnotism and learns through it that he can exert hypnotic power at a distance. He calls Mrs. Morgan up on the telephone and begins to exercise this power over her by telling her to make faces at the Professor, which she does. Swengaully is amazed. Sam takes the book under his arm and hastens to his loved one's home and with the further aid of the book, subjects the mesmerizer to his will and makes a regular "goat" of him by causing him to make ardent love to the housemaid in a most foolish manner. To still further humiliate him, he brings him back to a normal condition and then gives him a couple of good, swift kicks, which accelerate his departure into the cold, cold world.
