| User ReviewCurtis MOne of the best Chaplin movies ever made. ;-) |

| User ReviewPrivate UI love the old silent movies! It is amazing how they told the story with their expressions and actions! |
| User ReviewJohn AAn excellent early short film from Chaplin. This is the first of his shorts I've seen that really makes a go at injecting some pathos into the Tramp character. The final image of the film shows clearly shows this development in his artistry, and foreshadows his ending in Modern Times. The farm gags seem to work better than the fight gags here, but the film as a whole remains thoroughly enjoyable. |
| User ReviewDanielle KFeels like just another tale of Chaplin's lovable tramp, but is still so very humorous. |

| User ReviewHans J. Ejeez! this was hard to find, but it was like watching history being born. |
| User ReviewRichard SThough it doesn't quite hold up that well, it's still mildly amusing. I guess that's saying something positive seeing as it's almost 93 years old. |
