He Went to See the Devil Play (1909)
Philip Small, a much married man, goes to see the play of "The Devil" and after the play, drops into a nearby saloon to quench his thirst, and, taking more than Nature can stand, leaves the saloon in a slightly intoxicated condition. He meets a policeman, to whom he is about to tell of the play, when the officer transforms into the devil. Small staggers away and meets the milkman going into a neighbor's house with a bottle of milk. He calls the milkman, who turns around, and Small is about to tell him of the play when the milkman changes to the devil. He finally arrives home, rings the bell, the janitor opens the door and immediately transforms into the devil. Small slides down the stoop, then staggers up the stairway, goes to his bedroom and is there met by his wife, armed with an umbrella. He falls to his knees and pleads with her and she immediately transforms into the devil. The final scene shows Small and his wife sleeping soundly, his Satanic Majesty between them.
