One of the several dozen short comedies that Sennett directed for Biograph, before he went off to Keystone to work on his own, wilder farces. Here he not only directs, but stars as the jilted lover.
Although not as wild as some of his own comedies, this stands up better than much of the work he did at Keystone. People are recognizable, their motives are clearer and the jokes, in that context, a lot sharper.
