Slavin is at a loss to know what causes the nuisance, but decides not to mention the subject to his giddy wife. He tells the janitor to call him up at his office as soon as the noises start. Mrs. Slavin has histrionic aspirations, and is taking lessons in acting from Nicholas Hamfat. She is planning to give a private performance in order to convince her husband that she can act. Hamfat has trouble in finding an actor to fill a certain romantic part in her play and engages an "old clothes man" as a last resort. The rehearsal takes place in Mrs. Slavin's apartment, which accounts for the sounds of strife issuing therefrom. The "old clothes man," dressed as "Romeo," is placed in a closet to await his cue, when he is to rush into the room with drawn sword. The rehearsal is at its height when Mr. Slavin appears on the scene. Hamfat hides under the table and Romeo is in the closet, waiting for his cue. Slavin finds several suits of men's clothes, and has a stormy scene with his wife, during which he unwittingly gives "Romeo" his cue to burst from the closet. The resulting laughable scene is enjoyed by all the tenants of the apartment house. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
