Of the three Toto comedies that I've seen, I think this is the funniest and most consistent. I guess I'd say Toto is more silly than 'funny'; he does amuse me.

Toto bears just enough of a physical resemblance to the young Stan Laurel that it seems possible this was all the criteria Roach needed when Stan was hired to finish off Toto's series. It's interesting how Roach in later years often repeated the story that he let go of Stan in 1918 because his blue eyes didn't photograph on the old orthochromatic film stock, yet it was Toto who reportedly possessed a "cast in his eye."

So that's Clarine Seymour in the role of the maid, right?

But who plays the mad daughter?
