    • Trivia
      This is the first of 14 Essanay Films that Charles Chaplin made after leaving Keystone when Mack Sennett would not meet the comedian's $1000-a-week salary demand. Essanay gave him $1250. This is the only Chaplin film made on location in Chicago.
    • Goofs
      A taped "X" on Ben Turpin's neck, used by Charlie to strike a match against, disappears when the gag is over.
