Sissybelle (1913)
Percy Putnam is the pampered seven-year-old darling of a wealthy mother. In order that he be kept safe she has him cabined in the nursery, playing with dolls, just like his little sister, so that he will not become contaminated by the naughty boys in the neighboring streets. Every time Percy has an ache or a pain, strikes a live pin or a lingering splinter, she puts him to bed and sends for the family physician. This system begins to pall upon Percy's pa, and he connives with the doctor to get his boy away from the sickly and effeminating influences that come with starting a boy sewing, playing with dolls instead of going out in the back alley and having something "handed to him" from the dirty mitt of a hoodlum, enforced lessons in hardihood that every boy should have to meet for which he learns the manly art of self-defense.
