HENRY, THE HENPECKED HUSBAND is forced to eat every reluctant meal hugely spiced with tartar sauce furnished by his shrewish wife. To her guests Hannah is a charming hostess, and only her husband knows of her temper as displayed in domestic scenes. Felix is a guest and a musical genius and falls violently in love with Hannah.

The One-Reel Comedy
TN "The Film Favorite's Finish" we have the cleverly told story of a leading man who comes into a film company that is like one big, happy family, but haughtily refuses to share in their camaraderie. He snubs the men and patronizes the women and becomes about as popular as a mouse at a lawn party.

A CUNNING CANAL BOAT CUPID The canal boat Cupid is the cook, who sympathizes with the daughter of the boat owner, who by the terms of her uncle's will must either consent to marry a miserly second cousin or lose the fortune, unless he refuses to marry her. Gladys is in love with a handsome young man. The cook of the canal boat disguises himself as an ill-tempered woman, who uses strenuous language.

Gladys's lover hurries to the boat, in time to see the second cousin emerge, full of wrath and coal dust. He loudly refuses to marry Gladys, who falls happily into the arms of her lover, while the canal boat Cupid grins sympathetically and puffs contentedly at his pipe.
