A Lady and Her Maid
The photographer sends miss Ophelia a dozen photographs of her in different poses. Selecting the best one, she presents it to her favorite boarder, Billy, who does not think much of it and who gets very indignant when it is compared with the photo of his sweetheart. Miss Ophelia goes up to her room in tears and tells her faithful maid, Belinda, that her heart is broken. Belinda goes down and forcibly tells Billy what she thinks of him. Miss Ophelia resolves on suicide, because no one seems to love her. Belinda gets back in time to prevent this and, to divert her mistress, she suggests that they go together to a beauty specialist. Arriving there, both receive attention. Miss Ophelia gets a new complexion, while Belinda gets new teeth. Both invest in new gowns and dresses and the transformation is complete. At supper time, the boarders are all astounded.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on the contrast between the mistress's naive romanticism and the maid's blunt pragmatism. It relies on exaggerated silent-era pantomime and visual gags to poke fun at vanity and the fickleness of emotions.
What lingers after the whirlwind of transformations is a playful reminder that loyalty often outshines a mere makeover. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Bert Angeles
Best Watched
With afternoon tea, for a dose of silent-era charm.
