This is one of the better Keystone shorts--and, incidentally, it's actually a bit long for one of these films at a whopping 15 minutes. It begins with a young man (the director, Mack Sennett) falling for the family's maid (Mabel Normand). However, his mother is NOT pleased and reminded him that she is beneath them and encourages him with another lady. However, after driving Normand out of the house, the other relationship falls apart.
Years pass. Now Mabel is a famous movie star and the dumb ex-boyfriend sees her movie playing in the theater. However, when he sees it, he thinks it's all real and thinks Mabel is in trouble--after all, a wicked villain is pursuing her in the movie! During this time, he makes an insane nuisance of himself and the guy sitting next to him turns out to be Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle in an early small part. While the humor is VERY broad, for 1913 it's quite good and it's also a chance to see Arbuckle before he was a mega-star.
