The main provider for the domestic plant was one Adolphus Wiggamore. Randolph, the first born, was employed in a bank. The daughter, Maidie, was undecided whether to be a barefoot dancer or a trained nurse. Then there was a kid brother. The Wiggamores saw no use in going to the theater, but kid brother went against the movies every time he could dig up a jit. Then daughter slipped when she saw a poster with the name of her favorite star. About this time Mama Wiggamore was put on a club committee to investigate the movies. Then papa decided to do a little investigating himself. After a taste of the movies the Wiggamores found excuses to go often. Finally the cook got the habit, and the Wiggamore bill for electric lights took a sudden slump, for the entire family sidles out to the nearest movie theater every night. Moral: The principal ingredient in real entertainment is the absence of talk. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
