Summary of movie Mary Janes Mishap (1903)
Overall rating: (N/A)
|
Mary Jane is a typical Hinglish girl. She is seen in her kitchen, having overslpet herself, skurrying about, trying to do a number of things at one time. She blackens the Masters boots, puts the kettle on, bulids the fire, etc., etc.
While engaged in shoe-blacking, she scratches her nose with the blacking brush and leaves a large black mark on her face which makes it appear that Mary Jane has a mustache. However, she goes on with her work, but the fire will not come up.
Mary runs for the paraffin can, and proceeds to pour about a quart of the fluid on the apparently extinguished fire, after which she kneels on the floor to blow some life into the old kitchen range. She evidently succeeds for, suddenly an awful explosion occurs and Mary is seen traveling heavenward. The picture changes to an exetrior view. The housetops continue her flight toward angel land. Shortly after, she descends piecemeal and when the last piece has fallen the picutre dissolves into a scene laid in a graveyard where poor Mary was interred.
The inscription on the tombstone is to efefct that Mary had gone to heaven by the aid of paraffin.
An old lady accompanied by three younger ones visits the grave but are fightened off by the ghost of the departed kitchen maid who is seen in ghostly form tightly hugging the paraffin can.
Exceedingly fine.
