User Reviews

A comedy freshly amusing and well acted. John Steppling and Mary Hight play an engaged couple who haven't seen each other for five years. Both have grown fat, both have written that they dislike fat people. Neither of these players are really fat, but both are well filled enough to suggest the situation and both are good comedy players. They make their reducing exercises and fasting very convincing. We saw it with an East Side crowd up in the gallery. The audience plainly was enjoying it and, after the laughable climax, when the two go out for a good lunch together one hungry spectator began to shout out the order that the two were going to give to the waiter. Howard Missimer plays Doctor Thin; Lily Branscombe, the lady attendant; Chas. Hitchcock, the man attendant. Beverly Bayne, Mildred Weston and Evebelle Prout are the lady orchestra while Dolores Cassinelli is the cabaret singer. - The Moving Picture World, October 19, 1912
