An Edison picture illustrating what might happen if lunatics in an asylum were accorded the power of running the place themselves. They are about serving up a visitor as a chicken when the keepers, who have been locked up by the lunatics, are released and the crazy persons are hurried back to their cells. The advisability of using any affliction as serious as lunacy as a basis for sport is questionable, though aside from that the film is lively and not unattractive. To make irresponsible persons the target for fun will not appeal to a majority of a manager's audience, unless he is located in a peculiar portion of the country. Certainly the theme is novel, but is not handled to the best advantage. - The Moving Picture World, May 15, 1909
