"Cook, Papa, Cook" is a domestic comedy that is highly reminiscent of the sort of thing that made Charley Chase famous. In fact, the leading man (Henry Murdock) even looks a bit like Charley. Unfortunately, however, the opening and closing credits as well as one brief scene are missing. But the bulk of the film is available.
The film begins with the youngster causing trouble by throwing water on Dad to wake him. Unfortunately, Dad thinks his wife did it and they soon have a crazy water battle. Ultimately, it results in her refusing to make breakfast and Dad being forced to do it for a change. Naturally, he's totally inept at it but tries his best...which isn't saying much. Overall, it's a fair comedy. I say fair because so much of this is familiar but I've seen better versions with more laughs. Just fair. Next time, just watch a Chase film.
