Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Suspense is a 1913 short film (ten minutes) directed by Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley.As with most early short films the story is simple. There's a wife (Lois Weber), a baby, and a maid at home, while the husband (Phillips Smalley) is off in an office somewhere. The maid, not liking her position, quits immediately, without notice. As soon as the maid leaves, a scary-looking tramp arrives. The maid, on the way out, left the key under the front mat. He lets himself in, while the terrified wife calls her husband. The husband steals a car parked out front of his business, and goes off on a high-speed chase back home, the police following him for grand theft auto. Meanwhile, the hobo picks up a butcher knife in the kitchen and goes after the wife.Some sources state that Lon Chaney was an extra in this film but that does not appear to be the case.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
