On Another Man's Pass (1909) User Reviews

The picture is distinctly amusing, without being silly

[deickemeyer · 23 December 2014]

An Essanay comedy which includes more melodrama than is usually put into these comedy films. Finding a pass Rupert travels as the president of the road, but is prevented from actual wrong by a Salvation Army lass who induces him to return the money to the real president. Like all melodramas the action leads to a business connection which turns out as well as it possibly could. The acting is so good that it is humorous, to see Rupert impersonating the president of the road is comical because it is so good, and this is enjoyed immensely by the audience. And when the real president is put off the train because his hat, coat and pass are missing there is another laugh. The picture is distinctly amusing, without being silly, and will add to the high reputation for comedy which has been established by this company. - The Moving Picture World, September 11, 1909
