Meet Me at the Fountain is a 1904 American silent short comedy film written, produced, and directed by Siegmund Lubin.
[1] The film starts with a title reading 'A remake of "Personal" in which a man advertises in the newspaper for a wife, asking interested parties to "meet me at the fountain"'.
He catches a streetcar, jumps over a fence, runs up a flight of stairs, climbs up a tree, then a wall but they keep following him.
This is the third film shot in the United States in 1904 showing a man placing an advertisement in order to get married and ending up being chased by a group of women.
Siegmund Lubin, who was trained as an optometrist and had built his own camera and projector combination started in 1896 distributing films notably from Thomas Edison in Philadelphia.
