Pathos

Oliver Hardy is a miner looking for a wife. He takes out an advertisement n a newspaper, and Frances Ne Moyer answers it, proposing they send each other pictures. Hardy is in town to sell his mine for a million dollars, so he decides to drop in. When Miss Ne Moyer and her aunt, Cora Walker, get a look at the fat boy, they decide to have a joke by passing off the cook, Mae Hotely as Miss Ne Moyer.

Chaplin usually gets the credit for adding pathos to slapstick, and he certainly deserves credit for making it immensely popular. However, there were other comics dabbling in that sort of movie, and here is a good example of it.

Delightful bits of fiction

One more of those delightful bits of fiction that playwrights are so fond of concocting and audiences so thoroughly enjoy in spite of the fact that so few examples occur in real life. However, Arthur D. Hotaling has contrived his little comedy with a nice regard for the fairy tale ending, and Mae Hotely, Babe Hardy, Cora Walker and Frances NeMoyer see that no worthy point escapes. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1915
