The Country Mouse (1914)

A rippling comedy, replete with stirring social and political scenes. A film portraying graphic phases of everyday American life, from Farm to Senate.

A small-town politician is elected to congress. As he fights for his constituents' rights, his plain-Jane wife sits quietly at home. Only when Billy Bladerson seems to be on the verge of succumbing to the charms of adventuress Myrtle Marshall (actually in the employ of his political rivals) does Adele take a crash course in social graces-and cosmetics.
