He has a niece of whom he is appointed guardian, with the understanding that she shall not marry without her uncle's consent. Strolling out one day, he passed the stage door of a theater, and a number of chorus girls prancing out, cause the professor much confusion. Quite innocently, he follows behind one, who on reaching a door of a restaurant, drops some bundles, one being a package of photos. Of course, simply in politeness, he picks the packages up, but the girl being very pretty, the professor cannot resist the temptation to follow her into the lunch room, and invites her to sit at his table. The girl gives him one of her photos, and he conducts her back to the stage door, where he is introduced to one Harry Meyers, a "Matinee Idol." A few days later, the professor's niece is also introduced to Meyers by some girlfriends, end an attachment results. The professor and the chorus girl get along very nicely. One day they are strolling in the park and encounter Meyers and the niece. The professor induces his companion to hide behind the bushes and he proceeds to arraign the "Matinee Idol" and takes his niece home. Later Meyers and the niece surprise the professor and his chorus lady. In his embarrassment he rushes the young woman out upon the balcony and fastens the window. It then starts to rain. The niece draws attention to a feather boa on the table and Meyers recognizes it as belonging to Dotty Twinklefoot. Each couple have to admit their attachments, and the uncle gives his consent to the inevitable. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
