A Woman (1915 film)

The father (Charles Insley) is awakened when a pretty girl (Margie Reiger) trips over his outstretched feet.

The father is an incorrigible womanizer and immediately follows the girl to another park bench while his wife (Marta Golden) and adult daughter (Edna Purviance) remain asleep.

When snacks are put on the table, Charlie demonstrates a unique way of serving doughnuts and is having a merry time when the father sees him.

Charlie initially runs into the street without any pants, but the commotion he creates outside causes him to retreat back into the house.

Instead of being angry, the daughter laughs at the spectacle and suggests Charlie continue with the charade of dressing as a female to fool her flirtatious father.

The female Charlie is introduced as a college chum of the daughter, and succeeds in attracting the attention of both the father and his friend.

The reason is not entirely clear, but it could have been because a married man is trying to seduce a much younger woman or because of the transvestitism hinted at by Charlie disguising himself as a female.

Margie Reiger, the youthful actress who played the pretty girl in the park, is a bit of a mystery.
