Kiss Me Good Night (1914) Online

Betty, a petted society girl, develops the habit of leading young men to believe she intends to marry them and then suddenly jilting them. The engagement rings of all of her victims she keeps as trophies, and carries them suspended by a ribbon to her fan handle. Bob hears that his brother, Jack, is the latest victim of Betty's whimsicalities. Jack, in despair, begins to let drink get the better of him. Bob, angered at Betty's trickery, determines to teach her a lesson. He secures an introduction to her and soon proposes. Betty accepts. A few days later comes the note breaking off the engagement and Bob's ring is added to those of four other victims. Bob now proceeds to carry out his plan. He takes all of Betty's rejected suitors to her house and a minister, for he realizes that he is really in love with her. He interrupts a ball at Betty's home, carries her by force into an adjoining room, forces her to apologize to the suitors she has tricked and then compels her to live up to her ...

Swift Summer

In two parts, a rather distressing picture. We are not wholly certain whether it was intended to be a society drama, a farce comedy or a burlesque; it isn't distinctly any of these. There are good elements in the idea (the script is by Shannon Fife) to make a lively farce comedy, but if it was so intended the whole atmosphere is against it and surely all that senseless, brutal, rough work should have been left out and it should have been set in a more breezy atmosphere, as in a western country town. We have never seen Lottie Briscoe or Arthur Johnson to worse advantage than here. The characters as they put them over are truly ill-mannered to be interesting; there is nothing attractive in them; nor is there anything laughable in what they do. It is vulgar. Of the staging and camera work we have only praise. After reading the synopsis of the picture we feel that here, perhaps, is a case where the author deserved better treatment by the producing end. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914
