Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Fred was no highbrow, but in spite of all her primness and learning, he fell for Mary’s undoubted charm. One day he was handed this communication: “Dear Freddie: I am going to Box Springs to be quiet and alone with my beloved Samuel Johnson, Lovingly, Mary Highbrow.” Jealous rage stirred Fred’s bosom for his new found rival. He followed, blood in his eye. Mary, the highbrow, however, explained matters to both Fred and Blacksmith Johnson, but Fred at the time was a little worse off for his experience.
