Gets hearty laughter
by deickemeyer2018-12-30

"On the same reel with "He Woke Up in Time," and written by E.W. Sargent. Judge Holder, who has been satisfying too freely his occasional thirst gets into a row. His friend Smith protects him and the judge gives him a card, the ace of diamonds, which, when shown, will secure favors. Next day a score of prisoners show an ace of diamonds. This comedy gets hearty laughter. - The Moving Picture World, August 22, 1914..."
