No Drag
Max Linder, the most consistently funny and successful film comic before Chaplin came on the scene, did not play a freakish, slapstick comedy. Instead, in film after film, he played a man about town whose stories were punctuated by nice comic bits. His career went into a tailspin after he returned from service in the First World War.
In this three-reeler, the young lady with whom he is in love is sent to a convent to get her away from Max. Max goes after her. While we are not forced to watch the mustachioed Linder in drag, there are some nice gags here as Max manages to get his chauffeur blamed for everything, including an abduction of the girl. A typically very funny movie from a comic with whom every lover of silent comedy should be familiar.
