Continuity: When Charlie goes to lunch, he changes out of his waiter's coat and tie into his "Little Tramp" coat and vest. When he buttons his vest, the buttons and button holes are out of alignment. But when he walks through the restaurant and onto the sidewalk, the buttons and button holes are properly aligned.

Charlie Chaplin causes chaos as a waiter at a fancy restaurant; in his lunch break he heads across the street and does the same at a skating rink, kicking lots of people in the bottom, antagonising regulars Henry Bergman and Eric Campbell (here playing a married couple!), and wooing Edna Purviance. This one bobs along amiably enough without ever really taking off in terms of belly laughs, although there two major highlights: Chappers' twitchy-shouldered method of mixing cocktails, and any time he gets his skates on, which shows off his uncannily graceful gift for physical comedy. The first skating sequence, in particular, is so impressive you might forget to laugh.
