Plenty of laughs

[deickemeyer · 19 January 2019]

This picture play comedy was written by Kenneth S. Webb, and Lee Beggs picturized it in an able manner. That Josie Sadler and Billy Quirk join forces is enough to guarantee plenty of laughs. Josie is a maid of all work and she obtains a position through an employment agency with the Marshe family. She soon finds that she is at the beck and call of every member of the family to do this and that, from the baby in the crib to old man Marshe. who insists that she launder and massage the old grey mare. She asks for the Fourth of July off and is refused. In desperation she declares for independence. She loses her job but she and Hank get even with the aid of the garden hose. Fine comedy in this. - The Moving Picture World, September 12, 1914
