34. Getting Acquainted (1914)

Keystone 1914

Synopsis

Several couples and the obligatory policemen get mixed up in the park. The couples are not interested in their respective spouses, and so we find the men behaving badly, women commiserating with each other and the policeman trying to impose some order on these inexplicable 'acquaintances' whilst simultaneously dealing with a passing Turk.
