Made a great deal of laughter among an East Side audience
by deickemeyer2017-09-17

"A farce with broad humor that made a great deal of laughter among an East Side audience. The professor is a temperance advocate and, following "the cause," he comes in contact not only with drunkenness, but with that which makes it. In a scrimmage with a barkeeper he loses his glasses and now he can't see and, smelling of liquor, he must walk as though ha were drunk. The poor professor has a hard time. - The Moving Picture World, June 28, 1913..."
