Some burlesque sleuths on the job with comical results
by deickemeyer2017-10-14

"A lively burlesque farce that has several astonishing situations and makes a good deal of laughter. It deals with some young people (two girls and a man) in a theatrical boarding house in New York, who, it happens, are unable to pay their board bills. The man misunderstands an overheard conversation of the girls and gets some burlesque sleuths on the job with comical results. It is cleverly acted and will amuse. - The Moving Picture World, August 9, 1913..."
