Full of life, of well bred distinction and perfectly photographed

This little comedy. written by Herbert Prior, has some excellent things in it and markedly pleased the audience. "Tired Bill," a tramp (Edward O'Connor), exchanges clothes with a well dressed butler (William Bechtel). who is in swimming and finds that he has a letter of recommendation to a certain man as a butler. This Bill promptly uses and, when William arrives with his protest, is in a position to kick him off the premises. But Bill's butler soon gels him into trouble and William appears again and calls the cop at a very inopportune time for him; he gets another job waiting in a prison. There are pretty scenes in the picture, full of life, of well bred distinction and perfectly photographed. Gladys Hulette and Arthur Housman add to it by their drawing of a newly wedded young couple. A good picture. - The Moving Picture World, November 1, 1913
