6/10
10 minute fragment on YouTube

It's in YouTube under the title "Marie Dressler comedy. Archive film 1910s. Archive film 2402." It's presented with Huntley Archives (dot com) watermark front and center.

It's pleasant slapstick, that exaggerated goofing around. It reminds me of high school students making it up as they go along. What was crappy was the implication that of course she was deluded that the man loved her. Ha ha ha ha! She's fat and not beautiful! She's in her 40s! She's lower economic class. Ha ha ha ha. Ugh. That's the main joke that sustains the plot fragment. Hollywood even in it's eeriest days portrayed love as something only beautiful people deserve.

IMDb spells her name Tilly, which is incorrect. Tillie.
