Tactics of Cupid
A finely colored film, showing the methods employed by Cupid whilst pursuing his employment. He causes two young people to fall violently in love with each other. The consent of the maiden's father has to be gained, and the young fellow puts the question to him only to be shown the door. But Cupid is at hand with help, and by his magic he conjures up before the father a recollection of his courting days. The old man's heart is softened, and running after the unhappy lover he brings him back and joins the hands of the two young people. Amid great rejoicing the wedding takes place, and the couple drive off to enjoy a brief but quiet honeymoon. Cupid is beautifully played by a child of very small proportions, in fact, so well that one almost fancies it is the real thing.
