Between Dances (1913)
Sweethearts Harry and Mabel have retired to the seclusion of the conservatory, where Harry tries to make love to Mabel. Mabel thinks that Harry is a bit too sure of her, so she starts to tease him and make him jealous. Frank enters and she makes a fool of him by coquetting, taking great glee in Harry's rising jealousy and anger. She goes off with Frank for the dance that Harry wanted and upon her return promises Frank more dances, which annoys Harry. After Frank leaves, a quarrel between Harry and Mabel ensues, and Harry, angered beyond endurance, strides out of the room. Mabel is sorry, but won't go after him. Harry goes to the smoking room and sulks. An elderly friend of Mabel's enters and schemes to win Harry back. He goes to Harry and makes him unburden himself and then asks him to listen to the story of his blighted life. Harry is surprised, but listens and the man tells him an imaginary tale of a quarrel with his sweetheart and how the other man took advantage of the quarrel and eloped with his sweetheart. When he cooled down and went back to her he found them just returned from the minister's--married. As that scene fades back into the smoking-room, Harry shows his great anxiety and nervousness. He is afraid that Frank may be doing the same thing in his absence and cannot get away from the laughing old man quick enough. He enters the conservatory just as Frank is claiming the next dance. Taking no chances, he grabs Mabel and rushes her out onto the dance floor, much to her surprise and Frank's chagrin. She likes Harry's masterful way. He hurries her into the conservatory and tells her she will marry him. It takes her breath away, but she agrees and waves her tanks to the old man as he smiles at them through the doorway.
