That Little Band Of Gold
About That Little Band Of Gold
A young husband, played by Roscoe Arbuckle, slips away from his wife and his mother-in-law for supper with another woman at a café. He is already uneasy when he spots a friend at a nearby table. His wife Mabel (Mabel Normand) and her mother (Alice Davenport) walk in, and the evening is over. A trade-magazine account of the time treats that entrance as the collapse of his night out.
