The pink slipper is a German silent film fun play from 1913 by Franz Hofer .
action
The young Countess Lo is a high-spirited tomboy and perky backfish who whistles on the etiquette demanded by her parents: She climbs trees, dances with farm boys, comes up with funny pranks on the run and thus drives her parents through their improper and as inappropriate perceived behavior slowly but surely to despair. At a country party, Lo makes the acquaintance of a prince, without realizing the noble rank the dashing young man holds. But he finds the young tomboy enchanting and has his court marshal send her an invitation to the upcoming court ball. Actually, the girl is not interested in it at all and would rather play with her pug .
But her parents make Lo accept this invitation. Having just arrived, she first goes into an adjoining room to take off her tight shoes because her feet hurt. There she meets the prince whom she still does not recognize. After a short time, both of them have a great time together. The host briefly leaves the room, but soon returns and puts on a pink slipper, which he takes out of his pocket. The prince writes on the bottom of the sole: "I've loved you since I saw you, I want to be under your slipper". Then they both shake hands tenderly. The ball guests observe this romantic, tender scene through the large glass pane that separates the ballroom from this room.
