He Waited (1913) User Reviews

It is so human in its impatient exaggeration

Perhaps this picture was suggested to its author. Floreqce Turner, while she was playing in a recent picture, "While She Powdered Her Nose." The heart and meaning of it is entirely different; but it well might have been suggested by it. In this case, "he" (Courtnay Foote) waits while "she" (Lillian Walker) is dressing; waits, so he dreams, until he is a white-haired, old man, ready to topple into his grave. It is so human in its impatient exaggeration that every one m the audience is in sympathy with it and it brought out a good deal of appreciative laughter. It makes a good offering. Frederick Thompson produced it. - The Moving Picture World, March 22, 1913
