Poetical Jane (1910)
Jane calls herself a genius but editors have learned to call her something very different, for Jane is determined that she shall be given opportunity to please the public with her printed poems and the editors are certain that the poems will not please. Jane goes to see the newest editorial victim with the latest product of her genius, but to the harassment of the office she makes her way along a cornice and comes in through the window. It is too much. Since she won't stay locked out the editor locks her in and heads for the Country Club in his auto. Jane "hooks on behind" and just as the editor is congratulating himself that Jane has been given the slip she bobs up serenely and reads him some more of her rhymes. The editor dashes madly across the lawn with Jane in hot pursuit. She follows him over hill and dale, reading more poems whenever she gets within speaking distance. At last the editor capitulates, but not in promising to print the poems. Instead he falls in love and marries Jane upon her promise that she will never write another poem. As a matter of fact, Jane never did write poetry and we can prove it because a number of her effusions are thrown upon the screen and furnish some of the loudest laughs. You can't blame a sensitive editor for running away from such awful rot any more than you can censure him for wanting to marry her, for Jane is decidedly good-looking even if she does write poetry--and the editor should be grateful to the alleged verse since it brought Jane to his notice.
