Too Gentlemanly

A man of wealth, having met with great financial reverses after being crowded very closely by his creditors, finally has all of his furniture seized for the debts, but he still retains his polished manner. In spite of his adversity even the draymen who move his belongings from bis room are nicely treated. Very shortly it becomes necessary for him to seek a means of income. Upon his first application for employment the manager to whom he first applies does not consider that so fine an appearing man needs a field for work so will not consider him for a place. Through all his searching for work his progress is marked by his wonderful courtesy, amounting to a very ludicrous element, as he is clothed in tatters and has the manners of a lord. Finally be secures a menial position at the post office. Here his extreme niceness to ladies takes too much of the time he should be at work. This at last leads to the loss of his means of livelihood. He next is seen at work unloading a car of plaster in a quarry, where, after each sack which he handles, he carefully brushes all his clothes. In a very short time this opportunity for work is lost. The many abuses to which he submits because of his gentlemanly nature form material for an immense amount of wholesome comedy that is actually rich in laughs. After trying positions of various kinds and failing to meet with any success in any of them because he is too gentlemanly, he at last has the good fortune to meet an old associate who offers him a situation as a servant. This he accepts with great happiness, at the same time resolving to be more assertive in his own rights in the future. The final and most laughter provoking scene shows us his strenuous manner of dealing with the other servants of the household when they attempt to use him as an object of their jokes.
