Husband and wife D.W. Griffith and Linda Arvidson separately dress up for a costume party. At the party, Mr. Griffith does not recognize the beguiling "nun" he meets is really Ms. Arvidson. The two dance, and flirt. Ms. Arvidson doesn't know whether to be furious or flattered. After the two separate, and change costumes, hilarity and mistaken identity ensue. The main comic point is that Arvidson has changed her costume with the couple's "colored" maid. Edward Dillon and Robert Harron are notable cast members, the latter in a typical messenger boy role. Most notable for the "split screen" costume changing scene. Directed not by Griffith, but by Wallace McCutcheon. Griffith and Arvidson were real life husband and wife; and, she is the standout performer "At the French Ball".
** At the French Ball (6/30/08) Wallace McCutcheon ~ D.W. Griffith, Linda Arvidson, Robert Harron
