A vicar gets railroaded on the cheap in this silent cinema ad for Southern Railways.

Does 'er indoors know if you err outdoors? The indiscretion in this silent cinema ad, involving a vicar and a lanky brunette, is not a romantic one (sorry Fleabag). The guilty omission is in not informing his wife of the cheap-day return tickets to London that are on offer. The film also points out that any money saved would be well spent on tickets to the cinema!

Rev. Begwell goes shopping, his wife reminding him to keep to the footpath and not to go by bus. To his dismay he is spotted by Miss Cadge who takes him by the arm on the way to the railway station. Outside the station they see a poster advertising day-retrun tickets available between 10.30 and 4.30. Miss Cadge tries to get the vicar to buy her a ticket but fails. They board the train and the vicar meets a friend whoa sks him if he is retruning by bus. The vicar replies that the bus is too crowded and with the cheap day-return ticket the train is easier and more comfortable. The friend is delighted with the news and rushes home to tell, his wife, jumping into a taxi with the vicar and leaving Miss Cadge behind on the street.

Note: From a close-up of the ticket the train may have been Southern Railways.
