Hazel Haslem and Co.
Husband and
wife. Wifey is a business woman and
maintains her right to retain her maiden
name (for business purposes) after
married. At the opening hubby is trying
to convince her of the error, but
she refuses to open her eyes. The
phone rings and a buyer from out of
town is announced and hubby is advised
he had better take a walk until the business talk is over. The buyer comes in
and instantly seizes the girl and kisses
her, tells her he is crazy about her and
proposes to her. To convince her he
is, he again embraces her despite her
protestations and at this moment hubby
returns. Big dramatic scene and wife
is ordered from the room until the gentlemen
settle the affair as it should be. The moment they are alone the audience
is let in on the secret the men
have framed the incident as an object
lesson to the wife. She returns and the
deception is continued until finally the
would-be husband leaves and hubby and
wifey are alone and the argument regarding
the names starts anew. But
the phone rings and instead of Miss,
the wife answers it as Mrs. Fine for
small time.
