Practice What You Preach (1917) Online

Paul Clemons is a matinée idol and cultivates his admirers. One morning his wife, Lucille, unintentionally opens a letter from Mrs. Phil Hargraves to her husband, in which she speaks sentimentally of the previous evening. Lucille has a serious talk with Ned Hastings, an old sweetheart of hers. Need meets Paul at the club, tells him he is in love with a married woman and that they are sailing for Honolulu at four. Paul thinks it a good joke. He knows Ned is an old sweetheart of his wife's, but gives no thought to the matter. At three o'clock Paul arrives home, with peace offerings, but finds the house empty. He reads a note from Lucille in which she agrees with him that married persons have the right to live their own lives, and says she is sailing for Honolulu at four. Paul rushes wildly to the dock. Ned introduces him to Mary, who has recently become his wife, and Paul, grabbing Lucille, dashes from the deck of the steamer as the call "All ashore" is heard.
