Title
- Street car chivalry
Summary
- "Scene shows interior of crowded street-car. A young lady enters and every man in the car offers her his seat. Presently an elderly stout lady with arm full of bundles enters. All male passengers immediately bury their faces in their papers, while the lady swings on the strap. A sudden jerk of the car lands her in the lap of a dude, much to the amusement of the other passengers. She pulls herself together, only to be thrown sprawling on the dude again. This time she mashes his high hat. The dude rises and leaves the car, and the old lady gathers up her bundles and sits down with a satisfied smile. Length: 65 feet"--Edison films catalog.
