this be one of 5 chaplin that be on the first dvd of chaplin essanay comedy . in general and compare to volume 2 and the short on volume 1 aren not as well make because the dvd be arrange chronologically . chaplin skill a a film maker and actor appear to improve through his stay with essanay studio . this film have very little plot just slap and punch . it like the first five minute of chaplin later essanay short a woman but instead of then transition to a plot and this film just stay stick in slapstick mode . too shallow to have any lasting value and i get very tire of the mean spirit chaplin hit people . this show little of chaplin later genius .
