I agree entirely with a previous reviewer who states that Jimmy Finlayson has no right to be in this picture. His character makes less and less sense as the film progresses, and his continuous mugging becomes irritating rather than amusing. I also think it was a mistake of Mabel Normand to ask Stan Laurel to assist her. Stan has certainly provided that assistance in spades. Mabel is made up to look like Stan and even copies some of his favorite facial expressions. To add to our woes, the movie has not survived well at all. Some of the title cards are so blurred, they are impossible to read. Nonetheless, despite all that's wrong with it, "Raggedy Rose" is still captivating to watch and was obviously filmed on a sizable budget -- all of which of course was lost when the movie flopped at the box-office. Nevertheless, some of the scenes still work well and the movie certainly has curiosity value!
