Professor William Nutt

A very enjoyable comedy picture by Alice Williams, with, as its chief character, a vegetarian who practices what he preaches though his wife is fond of all kinds of good things. The best fun comes when Nutt, after a lecture, is invited home to dinner by an old friend who had forgotten that he is living up to his name. There is a good comedy in the getting ready of that dinner. It is wash-day and catastrophe day too and these scenes are full of humorous house-keeping lore with a touch of reality that will tickle old memories in many a spectator. Dan Mason plays Nutt like a lover of Dickens, making much fun. Mrs. C.J. Williams, as the wife who has to get a dinner ready on short notice, keeps on human ground right through; Maggie Weston is a washerwoman; William Wadsworth is the young husband, and Madeline Adair is Nutt's wife. This is the most worthy offering today in our estimation; it is clearly photographed and cleverly produced by C.J. Williams. - The Moving Picture World, June 14, 1913
