The elite are there, and Timothy Dobbs, the elegant dispenser, the male Pavlowa, is dispensing drinks to Mildred, the banker's daughter. The girls all adore him, and the boys despise him accordingly. Mary, the plain daughter of old Clarkson, adores him in secret. Timothy lives with Jeff in an old farmhouse which his mother left him, and incidentally an income of three hundred a year. Jeff adores him, is his valet. The boys stand it as long as possible, then from up to catch Timothy on his way to the dance hall. They toss him into the water. Jeff catches him in his arms so that he does not even get wet. Timothy is more of a hero than ever. All goes well until Gwendolyn Bates comes to visit Millie. It is Gwendolyn who sows the movie hero-worship seed in the heads of the girls. Timothy is deserted, hurt and humiliated. Mary alone remains true. No longer is the soda fountain patronized. Timothy can stand it no longer and impulsively tells Millie that he, too, is to become a movie actor. Millie, electrified, rushes forth to spread the news, and an hour later the drug store is again crowded and Timothy the idol of the town. The boys, disgruntled, go in and tell him that they do not believe him or that he is going. Timothy is taken off his guard, but when he sees the fair girls gazing at him, he says impressively he is leaving for California Saturday. The first episode closes with Timothy disappearing on the observation platform of the departing train. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
