This Keystone comedy has their characteristic rough-edged, free-wheeling style, with some of the details left unattended to, but at times it is very funny, and all of it is watchable. It has good energy, and it picks up as it goes along, with the most enjoyable parts coming later on.
The story has Polly Moran as a stage-struck young woman who learns that she stands to inherit a large fortune. This suddenly earns her plenty of attention from hopeful suitors, while she herself still longs for the stage matinée idol whom she worships. It's the kind of simple setup that often works pretty well as a two-reel comedy. The rest of the cast includes Hale Hamilton and Slim Summerville.
The action in the first few scenes is not always carefully done, and it's almost necessary to watch it a second time to see just how it all fits together. Also, as an earlier commentator here has accurately pointed out, at least two of the characters become hard to distinguish from one another, especially since they spend much of the movie racing around.
But the movie makes up for the weaknesses with its spirited slapstick, especially in the climactic sequence. Its depiction of a low-quality stage production is very amusing, and it has enough material in it to have filled up two or three times as much running time. This part is well worth seeing again, to be able to catch all of the gag ideas. Overall, it's not a real classic or anything, but it's worth seeing for fans of silent slapstick comedy.
