I saw this cartoon for the first time today; the version from the Cartoons On Film Bray Studios release.
Not terribly drawn - decent amount of detail, however, not very attractively drawn. Definitely in the more detailed style of many newspaper cartoons of the time. Story was incoherent IMO, and the pacing was terrible! Mostly very slow-going, and yet all of the intertitles flash by the screen so quickly that very few people could fully read or comprehend them in that time! Literally a fraction of a second for intertitles after extremely long scenes with very little action. When they show the telephone booth inside of the cafe, the handset is apparently just levitating in the air since they didn't bother to draw a shelf for it to sit upon! Also, Tommy Stathes' Cartoons on Film release is really low quality, especially at the beginning, and it looks largely due to artifacts from digital encoding and overcompression!
Might be interesting to skip through to get a feel for it, but this honestly might be the worst cartoon I've ever seen except for Bray's very cheap (and bad spirited) Gertie the Dinosaur ripoff (Diplodocus, 1915)
