        Appreciative laughter
        Quite a laughable picture comedy, involving a dramatic sketch team whose rehearsals annoy a fat boarder, who is endeavoring to write something that will bring him in money, a pretty little maid, a colored waiter, the policeman on the beat, the boarding house mistress and her crusty husband. It gets over for appreciative laughter. - The Moving Picture World, February 6, 1915
