After Dark in Central Park (1900)
After Dark in Central Park
Watch the Movie!
At the opening of this picture, a couple are seen in dim outlines, spooning on a park bench. In comes a policeman, armed with a dark-lantern, which he suddenly flashes on the couple. They cease their love-making, in great confusion, and the policeman walks on, but as soon as he is out of sight, the couple commence billing and cooing again. This picture is particularly interesting because of the photographic effect of the sudden flashing of a dark lantern on the couple. It is very cleverly worked out, and the picture has made a big hit wherever it has been shown. Written by AMB Picture Catalogue (1902)

Then we see three kids left alone out front to play and apparently they get muddy so they are brought inside. Then, the burly (of course) mother-in-law arrives and then other household help arrives, but the cook is an ornery woman who throws everyone out of the kitchen, even hitting one man over the head with the a frying pan. Subsequently, police are brought in to take her away. All of that, an anti-suburb message.
