He Loved Her So Synopsis
The jealous husband suspects that his wife is fickle but cannot discover any evidence until the butler hands her a letter one morning. He snatches it from her, and only waiting to read "My Dearest Sweetheart," tears it up and storms about the room. The wife pleads with him, but he goes out and buys a revolver. The wife, changing her clothes, also goes out. The cook, spying the discarded dress across her mistress' bed, puts it on, in celebration of an evening with the butler. When the husband returns and sees, in the half-lit dining room, the cook with his wife's dress on, in the arms of a man, he draws his revolver and fires. The cook, though unhurt, falls to the floor. The husband turns in the hall just as his wife enters with a man by her side. The wife introduces her father to the trembling husband, who then realizes his mistake in not reading all of the letter which told of the parent's coming. The three go into the other room where the cook and the butler laughingly tell of the mistake in identity.
Next Synopsis
When the worthless husband refuses to fire up the furnace, his wife, weighing a full three hundred pounds, decides to go to work and be independent. She answers an ad asking for lady barbers. The lady barber shop is reaping a harvest, due to their staff of pretty girls, who coax in the patronage. And not the least patronizing of these patrons is the worthless husband. He and a dozen others partake in the various services the pretty girls render, from shaves to shines and manicures. And many are the flirtations carried on between the customers and the fair employees. The husband comes back for the third time that day for a shave. By that time his wife is established as one of the tonsorial artists. When she sees him in the chair and hears from the proprietress that he has been flirting with the girls, she orders him tied down and then smears his whole face and head with lather. After that punishment is inflicted, she turns him over her knee and spanks him.
"He Loved Her So" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Next" offers its own unique cult appeal.
