Oh, never again!" "The Curse of A Flirting Heart" By C. B. Hoadley Victor Comedy in Two Reels. CAST. Max Max Asher Mrs. Max Lillian Peacock (Copyright 1917, Universal Film Manufacturing Co.) "If he flirts all the time with strange women, I don't see why I shouldn't flirt with strange men. What's sauce for the gander is certainly saucy for the goose," says Mrs. Max, as she puts on her best hat and goes out. In a park where the mayor of Bugville is flirting with a swell-looking woman, Mrs. Max seats "herself behind her parasol. . Max comes along, sits beside his wife and starts a flirtation, neither knowing the other, but Max discovers his error and flees. A cameraman is going about the town shooting local scenes. Max picks up an acquaintance with a young neighbor woman who is hanging out clothes in her back yard; they decide to go to a picture show to avoid her husband and his wife. Mrs. Max becomes friendly with this same neighbor's husband and they also go to the picture show, sitting directly in front of Max and his new friend. Max and the neighbor have been chased out of a barn by a mule while trying to hide from Mrs. Max. Max crouches in the crowd as he enters the show. The neighbor hides behind Mrs. Max's skirts as he goes in. The manager of the show receives word that the films for his program missed the train. The operator writes on a slide and flashes on the screen: "There's a man in the house with another man's wife and the husband is looking for him." Max and the man with Mrs. Max both sneak out of the show and later return, Max being seated by his own wife and the neighbor by his. The mayor and his wife are also in the show. Because of the lack of regular films, the local views, taken by Professor Shutter, are shown on the screen. All the scenes of the different flirtations are shown; the mayor chased by a bull; the episode with the mule; a prominent old maid and a man flirting; Max and his wife flirting behind the parasol. "Never again for ours!" vow Max and his wife. Priscilla Dean had no sooner finished putting over a good publicity story about a tremendous struggle she had with Emory Johnson, when she fell through a trap-door with him and broke her arm. It wasn't the fault of the publicity man, either.
