Comedy.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 8 January 1910, page 17] A comedy in which a species of travesty upon so-called sleuthing is enacted. When the police fail to locate a thief the detective accomplishes it through discovering a cigar butt of very rank smell. The picture possesses no particular feature, but is not unpleasant and will amuse an audience without arousing any remarkable degree of interest.
