Visitors and Visitees

Mr. Martin and Mr. Purdy, both businessmen, are tricked into believing their wives are visiting each other. While they embark on a night out, their wives actually meet at Martin's house. A thief then robs the intoxicated men upon their return, and they end up in each other's marital beds. The story resolves with explanations, reconciliations, and a shared vow to avoid such mishaps in the future.

Directed by Charles Bartlett, Visitors and Visitees leans on a strong ensemble — Edward Coxen, Winifred Greenwood, George Field — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1915.
