Comedy has com e to con­ tain about half and half pathos and exaggeration. This com edy stresses, the pathos and is conse­ than quently, rather more sad funny. Chester Conklin clearly does the j better work o f the two but his art leans too much to the pitifu l. His m ovem ents are so inutile; one feels sym pathetic toward him . His art is delicate. Charlie M urray’s com edy is much the same sort but it isn’t nearly so good. than The story is handled w ith a naturalism which m akes it appeal as true as corns or colds in the head. N othing more basically right could be /found the scenes of old man McFadden sick over the refusal of the bank to loan him m oney being cared for by his fat Irish w ife. N othing could be more poignant than the refusal of M cFadden’s daughter to recognize him when he passes in the street leading the hor-car- riers in the Labor Day parade. — A. N.
