B&W : One reel
Directed by Edward Dillon

Cast: Fay Tincher, Tod Browning, Baldy Belmont

Komic Company production; distributed by Mutual Film Corporation. / Released 31 May 1914. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Comedy.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 13 June 1914, page ?] An eccentric character farce. It makes good . . . because its characters are played by actors with the peculiar ability to be wooden and funny at the same time. Good clowns are not so numerous as blackberries in July and it takes a good deal of ability to mimic a marionette while doing the lively playing required by pictures of this kind. There are several burlesque characters in it and three cub bears, thin and lively.
