When he reaches college age he is sent to attend the University of Heidelberg, and really starts to enjoy himself for the first time, even falling in love with Kathie, his only friend during childhood and the niece of an innkeeper. However, political turmoil in Rutania forces him to return. He finds that the only way out of declaring war on a neighboring country would be to marry the daughter of its king&#8211;but that would require giving up Kathie, the only woman he&#8217;s ever loved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0005320\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i id=\"mwBA\"><b id=\"mwBQ\">Fickle Fatty&#8217;s Fall<\/b><\/i><\/a>&nbsp;is a 1915&nbsp;short&nbsp;comedy film&nbsp;directed by and starring&nbsp;<a id=\"mwCA\" title=\"Roscoe Arbuckle\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Roscoe_Arbuckle.html\">Fatty Arbuckle,<\/a>&nbsp;<a id=\"mwDA\" title=\"Phyllis Allen\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Phyllis_Allen.html\">Phyllis Allen,&nbsp;<\/a><a id=\"mwEA\" title=\"Glen Cavender\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Glen_Cavender.html\">Glen Cavender,&nbsp;<\/a>Ivy Crosthwaite,&nbsp;<a id=\"mwEw\" title=\"Alice Davenport\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Alice_Davenport.html\">Alice Davenport,&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><a id=\"mwFQ\" title=\"Bobby Dunn\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Bobby_Dunn.html\">Bobby Dunn,&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><a id=\"mwFw\" title=\"Minta Durfee\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Minta_Durfee.html\">Minta Durfee,&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a>May Emory,&nbsp;<a id=\"mwGg\" title=\"Edgar Kennedy\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Edgar_Kennedy.html\">Edgar Kennedy,&nbsp;<\/a>Fritz Schade,&nbsp;<a id=\"mwHQ\" title=\"Alfred St. John\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Alfred_St._John.html\">Al St. John<\/a><a id=\"mwHw\" title=\"Bobby Vernon\" href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco\/wiki\/Bobby_Vernon.html\">Bobby Verno,&nbsp;<\/a>Guy Woodward.<\/p>\n<p><em>Information on the movies come from website IMBD.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Day In History, Dec 15, 1915 \u2013 Movies come to the Opera House in Jamestown *** from the 125th Anniversary Calendar of Jamestown History ***&nbsp;&nbsp; Movies come to Jamestown.
