The players seem to be in good spirit for fun making
by deickemeyer2017-10-14

"Robert Bums and Walter Stull, in this picture, play two old cronies. The former has a son (George Reehm), the latter has a daughter (Frances Ne Moyer) and the young people are engaged. The widow (Mae Hotely) comes in a stylish plush dress and two old men lose their heads over her; fall out, and try to break up the love story of the young people. It is not wholly new, but some new things are rung in, and it makes a very fair offering, because the players seem to be in good spirit for fun making and the situation gave them a good chance. The audience seemed to like it very much. Arthur Hotaling ..."
