- TriviaThis film is sometimes mentioned as one of Arthur Lake's "Horace in Hollywood" films, but it is not. Lake made 13 of the Horace films, which were all directed by Edward Ludwig as Edward I. Luddy. This comedy short, in which Lake plays a character named Arthur (not Horace as listed o IMDb), was directed by Sam Newfield.

Featured review
Arthur Lake in Drag
Cute 2-reel silent comedy was one of Arthur Lake's last silent films before transitioning to talkies.
Plot has Lake (as Arthur, not Horace as stated in IMDb credits) and Jean (unidentified leading lady) breaking down in his jalopy after a night out. He's trying to get her back to her girls' school, where her father is already there to check up on her. The house mother (Fay Holderness) says she went out to the beauty parlor and hasn't come back!
The couple tries to get into the house but after Lake gets in he gets caught by the father and house mother, so he ducks into a dormitory and puts on a cap and nightie to disguise himself. In the 2nd reel, the father hauls the daughter away on a boat voyage to get her away from Arthur ... but he follows them.
Lots of physical humor. The ending is a funny bit as the boat leaves the harbor.
This is NOT one of Lake's "Horace in Hollywood" films as is often stated. This was his follow-up series of silent shorts for Universal after the "Horace" films had been completed.
