When Men Wear Skirts (1914) Online

Freddie, a beautiful young manicurist, finds it hard to secure work. While in the park one afternoon, the poor man is insulted by Fannie, a bold, bad adventuress. Freddie is quite distressed until Billee, a barber, comes to his rescue. Billee knocks the adventuress into the lake, after which she accompanies Freddie home. The man's heart flutters as he bashfully thanks his noble protectress. The saucy manicurist employed in Billee's shop throws up his job. Freddie lands the position. Billie spends so much time admiring the beautiful man that she grows quite careless as to where she smears the lather, or how she shaves her victims. Fannie discovers Freddie's whereabouts. Determined to make him hers, she hires a gang of gunwomen to kidnap the manicurist. It happens that Freddie is taken ill. His brother Percival, fair, fat and forty, takes his place. Unaware of the change, the kidnappers throw a bag over Percival's head and carry him to a minister's house, where Fannie awaits him. ...

A Marshal Nielan and Ruth Roland burlesque. In this comedy the theme of the plot is an exchange of the sexes, the males being recognized as the weaker sex and the women as the lords (or rather the ladies of creation). There is considerable comedy developed in scenes in the park, a barber shop and various other places. One of the funniest features is a gang of gun women, who have been hired to kidnap a gentlemanly manicurist. This is an out-of-the-rut comedy. - The Moving Picture World, September 12, 1914
