this film be cute and watchable even today and that something you cant say about many of the very early movie particularly those of george albert smith . most film of the day be of pretty mundane topic or be only about one or two minute long . this film and in contrast and be longer and actually try to have mary jane try to be a slapstick comedienne . she be a cook and doesn not seem to do anything right . while not great or amaze like the contemporary film of george méliès and this be still pretty good and watchable particularly the slapstick end . plus and film like this eventually lead to film like those of the later and much more famous slapstick comedian and so historically it pretty important .
