John Barrymore is caught in the San Francisco Earthquake. After fleeing his hotel in the aftermath of the tremor, he's pressed into duty by the military as the gas-fed fires start burning. When his manager finally finds him, he sends a telegram to Ethel and Lionel, but Lionel wonders if it's true.
"Oh it's true, alright" says Ethel, "It took an act of God to get Jack out of bed in the morning, and the U.S. Army to make him work!"
