We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Motion Picture News says: "Universal never produced a better two-reeler than this one, which fairly sparkles with incident and comedy situations. And it isn't the stars who are responsible for all the hilarity, but the story or idea, which attempts to point out what would happen if the blue laws came into effect. The opening scenes show Moran in his home sneaking about and endeavoring, with the aid of mechanical devices, to spend a quiet Sunday. The situations here are very humorous but are not any funnier than the appearance of the set. Don't be afraid to book this one — for it is one of the best comedies of the year." WlD's says: "It's a good number for Lyons & Moran — and ought to make a hit. The subject is very pertinent to the present time and the boys have built a gag around almost every conceivable situation in connection with the bluest of blue Sundays. Of course, it's a great exaggeration of any conditions that could ever exist under any blue laws, but it is also very funny, it took quite an imagination to conceive of a state of affairs such as are shown and it will surely be appreciated by anyone who sees the picture.'*
