He visits her in her dressing room and invites her out to dinner. But in the meantime Mrs. Roy has made other arrangements for the evening and Roy is forced to engage a representative to go to an affair with his wife. In the leading man of the Follies Company he finds a double and so close is the resemblance between the two that his wife little suspects. She objects however when her supposed husband flirts with other girls at the party. While this is going on Roy and the leading lady are enjoying themselves in a nice little restaurant and all runs smoothly until her husband appears and creates a scene. Roy escapes and hurries home only to find that his wife has dragged his double into the house and insists upon his going to bed. The final substitution then takes place and the leading man is happy to escape and leave Roy with his insistent wife. Written by The Film Daily, May 14, 1922 See less
