Bashful (film)

A copy exists in the film archive of the Museum of Modern Art, New York City.

[1] Harold plays a shy but well-off bachelor who has been invited to a party hosted by The Girl (Bebe Daniels).

While there, Harold receives a telegram informing him that he is about to inherit a fortune from a distant and recently deceased aunt—provided he is married and has a baby.

Harold's valet (Snub) procures an entire room full of toddlers to play the role of the couple's child—including a black infant.

Instead of being suspicious, since Harold claims he's only been married for two years, his uncle hands him the check and says he will certainly need the money.
