A Search for Evidence

Biograph summary: This is a novel and very effective arrangement of seven scenes--to give the effect of the search of a detective and a discarded wife for the evidence necessary to secure a divorce. The two walk down the hall and look through the keyhole of the various doors. As the woman looks through each keyhole, the picture shows what she sees--(a) A young husband walking the floor with a baby; (b) a farmer trying to light the electric light with a match; (c) an old maid preparing to retire; (d) a doctor and nurse attending a patient; (e) a poker game in full blast, and finally the guilty pair, the husband and his paramour. The picture shows the detective and the wife breaking in, and an exciting denouement when the wife confronts the woman. All exceedingly well acted.
