Good film but Mabel is 'commonplace' here
The first thing we have to say is, 'What happened?' Roscoe is still Roscoe,but toned down and not that funny. Mabel however is totally transformed. She is now a serious dramatic actress, and carries through the part very well. The problem is that she is now one of a thousand actresses, who did this type of work on a daily basis. She had become, as Charlie Chaplin later said, 'commonplace'. Good as the film is, her audiences were probably appalled - where was the Keystone Girl? Furthermore, what was everyone's favorite ingenue doing getting amorous with a man in her bedroom, while wearing a nightie? The very thought! From a mass-market point of view, films like this would have drained the very essence from Mabel, and ended her career. Fortunately, good sense prevailed, and Mabel was able to eventually produce funny, but dramatic, films under the good direction of the great Dick Jones. I can give 8 for the film, but only 4 for Mabel's performance - so 6 it is.
