With enough freshness to get by

A burlesque with enough freshness to get by; though most of it seems like old vaudeville sketch stuff. Old stuff seems to go with the audiences; it is strange how many people haven't seen the old situations or heard the old jokes. This picture is by Herbert Prior, and was produced by Charles Seay, and deals with the poor actor out of work and hoofing it through the country (Herbert Prior), and with the gawky girl (Mabel Trunnelle), who is stagestruck. He teaches the farmer's family acting for his keep and they try to give a performance of Othello at the town hall. The fact that it was burlesqued, rather than played as a farce comedy, tells against it as killing its freshness. - The Moving Picture World, June 21, 1913
