  • A man in an office begins a love letter after a conversation with his darky janitor. The janitor has shown him a photograph which this reviewer thought, at first, was of a white woman, the business man's wife. The reviewer also thought that the letter was the business man's own. It really was to the janitor's black lady love. The man left it unfinished on his desk and his wife came in and saw it. This furnished the situation. When the darky came for his letter, the photograph was shown again, but this time near enough so that the reviewer could see that it was not of a white woman. By that time this reviewer also understood the situation. - The Moving Picture World, August 19, 1911
