Dorincourt Withers, a motion picture idol, joined the company. Women idolized him, and this made him most unpopular with other members of the company. Withers was made leading man and he refused to talk to anybody except "the leads." He paid much attention to the women of the company, and took an interest only in those parts in which he was to appear alone, in "close-ups." An indignation meeting was held, and action decided upon. It was the character man who rose to the emergency. On a day off he happened to pass a country estate just in time to see its owner, a wealthy society leader, depart, leaving the house unguarded. As she stepped into her auto, she dropped her keys, and an idea struck him as he picked them up, "what a dandy way to bring woe to Withers." The enthusiastic support of the company was easily engaged. An auto drove up to the studio, and the card of Mrs. Van der Gordon, New York and Newport, was brought to the star, who did not recognize in the "footman" one of the members of the company. The star hastened to the auto and gladly accepted the gracious invitation of Mrs. Van der Gordon to take a ride. He did not know that "Mrs. Van" was really the character man made up. She took him to her home, mentioned that she was going away tor a long trip, and urged him to take possession of the place. He did so, and was impressed with the caliber of servants she had, two extremely pretty maids and a solemn butler, all members of the picture company but cleverly disguised. The star moved in on the spot, and unknown to him the servants moved out by the basement door. A little later the police called, having been notified that burglars were in the house. The real Mrs. Van der Gordon came back and repudiated him, and he was led off to jail. He did not remain there long. The authorities let him out, believing the plea made that he was simple-minded, a plea which the members of "The Happy Family" most enthusiastically endorsed. But his brief incarceration had a sad effect upon the star's nerves, and he went to his father's farm in Kansas to recuperate. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
