For those who were mesmerized by My Lady Nicotine, a true cult masterpiece from 1918, its influence on cult cinema remains a vital reference point for fans today. This list serves as a bridge to other cult experiences that are just as potent.
The legacy of My Lady Nicotine is built upon its ability to blend thematic complexity with stunning visual execution.
Jack had to swear off smoking when he became engaged to Mary, but broke his pledge after the honeymoon. Mary put some Nico Not, a cure for the smoking habit, in his coffee, and Jack thinks he has an acute case of the falling sickness until he discovers the dope in the kitchen cabinet. He substitutes sugar for the Nico Not, and leaves an article on the dangers of patent medicines where Mary can find it. She returns, reads the article, finds Jack in an apparent fit on the floor with the bottle of Nico Not in his hand, and frantically calls a doctor. Jack tells the doctor the joke, but Mary overhears, gets a loaded cigar and presents it to Jack. The explosion throws him into a real fit, and wife laughs. Jack swears off, and they both ask the audience to do likewise and send the smokes to the boys "over there" in the trenches.

This subject is the same as No. 1863 [ANNA HELD], but shown in full length figure. Both are admirable, and make hits either in the Biograph or Mutoscope.
