At his wife's request, he goes into business, and you can just guess what kind of a business he picks out. That's right. He opens a theatrical agency for ladies only, and more congenial labor never could be invented so far as Jack is concerned. Business flourishes the first day, and Jack has a bevy of queens in the office, so he hangs up the handy "closed for the day" signs and starts rehearsing. Mrs. Jack, at home, is impatient for his return, and finally, unable to wait any longer, starts out for the office. Sounds of revelry greet her ears at the door of her husband's office, but when she enters, all she can see is Jack at the telephone, and various covers, which had just been removed from the new furniture, lying all over the floor. She is puzzled until she sees a dainty size three foot protruding from one of the covers. It would cause great sorrow to relate the tragic incidents which followed. Suffice it to say that the sign on the office now reads "closed for good." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
