For smiling rather for laughter
by deickemeyer2017-09-17

"A picture in comedy vein for smiling rather for laughter. It gets over as strongly as its matter will allow, it being somewhat worldly-wise and cold, rather than sympathetic and human. The sets and the players are dignified. Uncle (John Bunny) is rich and has forbidden his nephew (Leo Delaney) to marry the widow (Rose Tapley), so Leo's friend (S. Rankin Drew) gives a house-party, inviting all concerned. Now uncle is always sleepy and, during the evening party, wants to find a place where he can drop off, but they won't let him. He falls into a doze in a chair in the widow's room..."
