Wifie&apos;s Athletic Mamma

A sort of give-and-take farce

A mother-in-law story with quite a punch (the mother-in-law, not the story). She opens a physical culture school. This is a sort of give-and-take farce very strenuous, and funny only in spots. The son-in-law ends his career on a stretcher. On the same reel with &quot;A Hunting Absurdity.&quot; It earns laughs. - The Moving Picture World, October 24, 1914

It's bad enough to be henpecked, but when in addition you have a mother-in-law who can lick her weight in wildcats, it's worse. Peter Kingston is in that situation and when he hears that his wife's mamma is coming to town to open a gymnasium for young ladies, he lays his head on the table and weeps and doesn't notice that his head is in the oatmeal dish. Ma comes close on the heels of her letter and soon has her school established. She makes an exception in favor of hubby and each morning she puts him through a course of training. Hubby wants to get even and when he sees a couple of mixed ale fighters in training he hires them to dress as girls and apply to Ma for instructions in boxing. The pugs look anything but lady-like in spite of the make-ups, and Ma smells a rat. When she sees hubby waiting on the front steps for the "murder" to begin she knows the rat's name. She goes back to the gym, good and sore and walks into those unfortunate pugilists like the wrath to come. All the time hubby sits on the front steps and thinks the sounds are Ma's death knell. Then the pugs are turned loose and Ma goes for hubby. She takes him into the gym. The pugs give the alarm and the police come and take hubby home on a stretcher.
