City, State County The idea shows how it is possible to win a wife b} disguising yourself behind a set of false whiskers and impersonating the old gentleman she is to marry. It then takes up the logical enterprise of keeping the wife faithfully hitched in view of the parasites who are after her money. There is some uproarious — call it silly, if you must — burlesque, capitally executed by Owen Moore and Sydney Chaplin. On the other hand, what dull moments it offers arc found in Sylvia Breamer's portrayal of the much-pursued wife. Having no sense of comedy value, she makes a mess of her study. Cupid's Firem.vn There is a faint impression of heart appeal in this offering — which will please the sentimentalists — since it exploits a doting mother who refuses to grant her permission for her son to become a fireman. The tale was adapted from Richard Harding Davis' "Andy McGee's Chorus Girl," and is rather ancient in theme and treatment. It follows a conventional groove and is always obvious— and the spectator may expect nothing which will excite him except for an orthodox climax featuring the rescue of the actress from a burning house by our hero in the fireman's helmet. The mother, having died, the son has no obstacles to overcome in joining the department. These obstacles arrive later when the actress's brutal husband locks her in the burning house. Be it said for the humanity of our hero, he also tries to rescue the brute, but fails. A convenient premise for the sake of romance. The particular bright light is the fire scene. Charles Jones is the smoke-eater and his restrained style of acting is effective here.
