A very good farce by Mr. Harry Furniss, the well-known English illustrator. He, himself, plays in it the leading part, as Harry Furniss, an English artist who helps a fellow painter who is not yet well known, is sick, and whose wife and two little children are in distress. It was the duty of another artist, Sir Tufto Dauber, to extend, as administrator of the "Benevolent Association's" fund, help to other artists in distress; but Sir Tufto was too lofty to bother, so Mr. Furniss makes up as a great brain specialist to make him think he has gone crazy. Mr. Furniss can add touches to Sir Tufto's drawings when he isn't looking and, for a farce, the development of the situation is excellent. Sir Tufto Dauber is played by Walter Edwin; the sick artist by Barry O'Moore; his wife by Miriam Nesbitt, and his two children by Edna May Weick and Yale Boss. - The Moving Picture World, June 8, 1912
