The floury hands of deceit

 

Why Mrs. Jones Got a Divorce (1900)

Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. A woman catches her husband having it off with a pretty cook.

You can see the beginnings of actual narrative here, this short actually has a plot. There may not be a lot to this short but it does work. Seems a bit harsh that the cook turns the table over at the end when she is the one in the wrong.
