Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The oft-repeated promise of the well-meaning wife who promises to be “dressed in a moment” is the clever comedy conceit which keeps a patient husband toying with an expensive pair of opera tickets, until nearly midnight. Until the lady comes in fully panoplied, to find her husband also panoplied, likewise “full” and asleep in the shadow of a tell-tale decanter.
