"The Great Toe Mystery (1914) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Madcap comedy form Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios has a husband and wife going into a shoe store where the husband is outraged when a shoe clerk (Charley Chase) starts flirting with his wife. The clerk drops a note in her shoes to come meet him and this here leads to a crazy chase when the husband finds out. Sennett believed that if you kept everything moving at a fast enough pace then the viewer wouldn't have time to get bored. This might be true but I think it can also lead to the viewer simply losing track of what's going on..."
