Café ownder Mack Swain goes gaga over a gal.
Mack Swain inherits his uncle's fashionable cafe -- we're told the old man is dead, but he may just be using that as an excuse -- but between the help stealing all the receipts, and vamp Fontaine La Rue running the badger game on him, he may not be able to keep the joint.The copy of the film that I looked at only timed in at 10 minutes, despite the 20-minute runtime attributed to it. It has, alas, the clunky and cluttered pacing of many of the later Sennett Keystones, wrecked by re-issuers who decided they knew better than the guys who made this originally what would please the audiences. It didn't please me.With Polly Moran, Eva Thatcher, Tom Kennedy, and many to-be-storied comedians who worked for Sennett.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
