    Good comedy well done

    An Ashley Miller comedy, who also is the producer. William Wadsworth has the leading role, supported by Gladys Hulette and a good comedy cast. Through absent mindedness a millionaire (William Wadsworth) was continually getting into trouble. Gwendolyn (Miss Hulette), a clerk in a book store, was the object of the affection of two clerks. One of the clerks takes the young lady out to dinner. He carries his money in his overcoat pocket, which is taken by mistake by the millionaire. The young man is involved in an awful mess. But the incident determines the future of the young couple. Good comedy well done. - The Moving Picture World, September 19, 1914
