It appears this is unpopular, even compared to other early Chaplins.
I found it funnier and more advanced than a number of Chaplin's films from this period.
It suffers compared to later films of his, of course, because I find these early films are rather primitive. However, several of his films before and after this are less funny and less interesting.
Chaplin's drunk act is excellent throughout. Fatty Arbuckle does a decent performance too. The sequence where Charlie fights with a saloon toilet door is funny and much copied. When he jumps onto a moving vehicle it is well done and interesting,
All in all, not a bad little film.
