Captain Bill's Warm Reception (1914) Online

Captain Bill desires a respite from slashing seas and pitching decks. He decides to visit his nephew, Bob, a land-lubber with a pretty wife and home. Captain Bill's letter arrived. Bob and his wife visit a ship chandler's and purchase the necessary requisites to transform their domicile into a good imitation of a four-master. When Uncle Bill arrives he finds the maid and butler in sailor garb. He is ushered in with a horn-pipe accompaniment. While he dines, the butler rocks the table and the maid sings "Davy Jones' Locker." Uncle Bill steers a safe course until eight bells. In order that he may "turn in" without a feeling of loneliness, the butler and maid splash his bedroom window with garden hose. He sleeps, but is rudely awakened when a pane of glass breaks and the water come hurtling in. Bob and his wife rescue Uncle Bill from imminent drowning. The veteran grows wrothy over his mistreatment, but is placated when Bob and his wife explain that they were thinking only of his comfort.

The newlyweds, played by Lee Moran and Victoria Forde, fix up their home in regular sea-going fashion to entertain Uncle Bill, an old salt. The bed rocks violently and a hose is squirted through the window to make things homelike. Quite a novel idea and ones that creates considerable amusement. - The Moving Picture World, May 30, 1914
