He is seen by a lovesick gentleman, who engages him to assist in imposing on the girl he admires. The gramophone is carried beneath her window, and while Polidor works the instrument, reproducing a passionate love song, the other goes through all the gestures of a vocalist. The lady is completely deceived, and invites her suitor to a party at her house, where a company of guests are invited to hear him sing. Polidor's aid is again enlisted by the swain, and Polidor altered, in evening dress, is also present as a guest, with the gramophone artfully concealed in a huge bouquet. When Polidor receives his cue, he finds something wrong with the instrument, and though the other opens and shuts his mouth, as if in the act of singing, no sounds are heard. Polidor, in his agitation, upsets the gramophone, and so the plot is revealed, and both companions are forcibly removed. Written by The Bioscope - October 31, 1912 See less
