A Biograph comedy which depicts Schneider after he has been invited to respond to the toast "The Ladies" and is endeavoring to prepare his speech. First a trombone in the hands of a husky boy disturbs him. Then it is his wife and her music master practicing on their violins. Next a phonograph breaks in upon him. He gets them all quieted after a time, including the parrot, which had been roused to frenzy by the torments of the boy. Just as he is getting to work burglars enter the house and steal all the musical instruments. Schneider discovers them, and when he finds that they are after the musical instruments he assists them to get away with their booty and even gives them money for taking the noise producing articles. Then he goes back to his speech in peace. It is a clean bit of comedy and is a welcome relief from some of the inane things that pass for comedy. - The Moving Picture World, April 17, 1909
