Countess Sweedie

Sweedie is the scrub lady in the theater. She makes eyes at the stage manager and the hypnotist and is put out of the theater for being so impertinent. Next day while she is out feeding her chickens, she falls asleep and dreams that she has been left an immense fortune by her uncle and that the stage manager and the hypnotist are rivals for her hand.

Sweedie, the servant girl, is in love with a fireman, but her affections are not returned. The fireman escapes her caresses and gains the firehouse and loses her seven hours later when a fire breaks out. The next day she finds him with another woman and administers punishment. Then she opens a lady barber shop and her first customer is the faithless fireman.

Sweedie's father is the owner of a grocery store, and Sweedie takes care of the trade while father plays checkers all day. She is in love with a member of the police department, and at every possible opportunity slips out and holds hands with him.

Sweedie tells her beau that her love has grown cold, so he decides to jump in the lake and end it all.

While Sweedie is studying her war map in her grog shop, two bums enter the place and start drinking wine. When Sweedie asks them to pay for it they dash out of the place. She calls the police and they pursue the bums. Sweedie is outdistanced in the chase and thought she saw the police enter a certain house, so she rushes in.

Mrs. Goodheart, a charity worker, comes home one evening very much discouraged as she is unable to get even a small donation from Mr. Tightwad, the millionaire. She tells Sweedie, the cook, of her failure, so Sweedie decides to try her luck at making him "come across."

Sweedie, the cook at the Rich household, buys a donkey from the captain of the police, but forgets to pay for it. He raids the house in an effort to get his money, and as a result Sweedie is fired.

Sweedie has two admirers, and is undecided as to which one she prefers to marry. Her parents are in favor of Fritz, a little fat German. Sweedie is then determined to wed the other suitor.

Mrs. Highstrung's maid leaves her at a very inopportune time, as she has just received a telegram from some friends that they will arrive in the city in time for luncheon. Jim, the hired man, tells her of a good Swedish cook and Mrs. Highstrung sends him post haste after her.

Sweedie while reading a book in the kitchen, falls asleep. She dreams that Kao Yama, Sultan of Puff Puff, has sent her a present in the form of a servant. She refuses to accept the slave, telling the Sultan's messengers that her husband would seriously object to having him around the house.

Sweedie decides to commit suicide when she is jilted by her sweetheart, the captain of the police department. After writing a note to him, she calmly makes ready for the end. About this time the tricksters arrive and inject "dope" into her which puts her to sleep.

Mr. Dingy engages Sweedie as their cook. She insists upon bringing her dog "Skinny" and her parrot along. Mr. Dingy dislikes dogs, but rather than lose Sweedie he consents.

Sweedie gets a job as mop artist in a hotel. She starts out from home encumbered with baggage and a pet dog of uncertain ancestry. Arrived at the hotel, she is given two pails and a mop and she starts to work.

The country school board assigns a new teacher, and the lot falls to none other than Sweedie.

Sweedie the cook adorns herself in her employer's jewels and goes to the skating rink where she is the most popular lady on the floor.

Henry Bigger, a short fat fellow, and Danny Slimson, short but slim, are rivals for the hand of Sweedie. One day while Danny is peeking in the window at Sweedie, he sees her reading a letter and immediately takes it for granted that it is from Henry. Instead, it is a notice from the landlord requesting her to pay her rent.

Al Santell silent sports boxing comedy series starring George O'Hara, and all star cast: Kit Guard, Al Cooke, Clara Horton, Mabel Van Buren, and Clark Gable (in one of his 14 uncredited roles prior to making his real debut in 1931's "The Painted Desert"). Note that this was one of a series of boxing films with the same characters, and each new film in the series was called a "round" (appropriate for a series of boxing movies!), but these movies were not serials, just connected by having the same characters. This card is from the second series, 11th round, "Beauty and the Feast".
