Calamity Anne's Beauty

Directed by Allan Dwan
1913    11mShort, Comedy,
When Dr. Stickum came to town with a professional beauty, he stopped his traveling wagon in the main street, lit his torch, and proceeded to expound the merits of his beautifier. Calamity joined the crows around the wagon, examined the living testimonial in the professional beauty's form, and longed for beauty herself. So she bought several bottles and hurried to her haymow to drink, sleep, and awaken to the wondrous change. Alas. Morning only brought a terrible stomach-ache. She went again to Dr. Stickum, bought more nostrums, including bandages for head, nose and chin and again went to sleep. Her sleep was rudely awakened by a vagrant tramp who fled at the horrible sight of the bandaged Calamity. Stunned that she should make such an impression, Calamity, hauling her gun and firing at random, swept down on the miserable doctor and his professional beauty. They at once took to the woods and Calamity, firing frantically with one hand, while she destroyed the cargoes with the other, soon made devastation of Dr. Stickum's property. The she gave chase, soundly kicked and beat Dr. Stickum and his beauty, and finally, exhausted, retired to the haymow for a real beauty sleep.
