Buster Brown Gets the Worst of It (1914)
When Buster Brown and his sister Mary Jane learned that Mrs. Benton was bringing her baby to their house, they immediately decided that the imminent visit held the promise of excitement. Immediately after the guests arrived, Buster and Mary Jane centered their attention on the carriage that had brought the Benton heir Brownwards. Buster discovered a suit of clothes in his father's closet, and instantly decided that it was exactly what he needed, so he stuffed it carefully with newspaper, and brought it down to the baby carriage. When the stuffed clothes were placed in the carriage, they bore an uncanny resemblance to some weary soul who, overcome by fate or the insidious ravages of alcohol, had sought the baby carriage as a refuge from the unhappiness of an adverse, misunderstanding world. Curiously, Buster's father watched the entire proceedings from the shelter of a doorway. When Buster and Mary Jane crept away chuckling, to spring the joke on their long-suffering family, Mr. Brown removed the dummy and took its place in the carriage. Thus the stage was set for events of rare and surpassing moment. A kind veil must be drawn over the terrible things which happened when Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Benton rushed out to join battle with the reported usurper of the baby's place. In addition to the human contestants, a large, uncannily-wise dog named Tige and one active, diabolical goat also played parts. The only person who really enjoyed the proceedings was the baby.
