A boisterous comedy
by deickemeyer2018-11-02

"A boisterous comedy the plot of which is quite original and which contains a love episode. The misadventures of the rivals' hired dress suits and a dog, not saying anything of a mess of fleas, furnish the comedy. The usual chase occurs, with police mounted on skates. - The Moving Picture World, July 18, 1914..."
