The situation is far from new, but it gives Marshal Neilan a chance to play "some sissy" (we quote from a stranger's comment to the man with him), which he does very effectively. Mr. Neilan is no novice in acting; his comedy character work is fine. As a sissy, he disgusts the girl he is wooing, so he employs a wrestler to let himself be thrown in a bout. Marshal's reputation gets so big on account of the bout that even the wrestler is afraid of him, and everything comes his way. (Perhaps a reputation as a scenario writer would be just as effective.) It makes a very good offering and the audience heartily laughed over it. Ruth Roland, John Young and John Brennan also have roles. - The Moving Picture World, June 21, 1913
