and buys a drink to prove it. She packs her bag and leaves
home. She takes a room at a hotel. Hubby follows
her and gets into an argument with another man

A Railroad Abbreviation
Two small newsboys were standing on the curb and watching with much interest a man with a stepladder, who was fastening a long canvas sign across the front of the photoplay theater on the other side of the street. The sign read as follows: "Wed., Thurs., Fri., & Sat. See Geraldine Farrar in CARMEN. No Advance in Admission Prices." "Chee!" exclaimed one. "I wonder what d' pitchers is about!"
"Why, ya poor simp!" scornfully replied the other. "Can't ya see frum d' name of it dat it's about some guys what worked on d' railroad?"
A Regular Roughneck
Charlie Chaplin was on the screen, going through some of his most popular antics.
"Mercy! isn't he vulgar?" said the girl beside me to her companion, as Chaplin scratched a match under his collar and lit a cigarette.
"Yes," said the other girl. "He's a regular roughneck."
Just Like a Woman
The heroine on the screen had just awakened and had donned a dressing gown, when the film broke. While the damage was being repaired, the audience waited quietly, except one impatient man, who arose and shouted,
"Just like a woman, taking all day to get dressed!"
"HIS WIFE'S SWEETHEART"
It's tough when the fellow who breaks your heart piles it on by breaking your bones, too, and you are compelled to go back to your wife all dressed up like a prize cow and admit that your unfounded jealousy was the cause of it all. Raymond McKee, as Mr. Whine, has had a row with his wife (Jean Dumar) and objects to her ownership of a harmless dog. He suspects her of a flirtation and tackles the wrong man, who returns his attentions with interest. Whine is cured of his suspicions and of his distaste for dogs and goes home to beg his wife's forgiveness. He even consents to love the dog.
