A comedy in which Mr. Hobart Bosworth plays a double part with the contrast that lies between a society man and a dirty, ragged tramp. The only weak feature in this reel, full length, is poor photography. It keeps hold of the comedy spirit all through and is both fresh and very amusing, Mr. Bosworth being well supported by his entire cast. The audience laughed and seemed much pleased. The millionheir promised his friends that they wouldn't know him at the mask ball as he was coming as a tramp. He finds a tramp who looks just like him and, in a spirit of fun, sends him. He forgets that his fiancée is to be there. The tramp arrives and acts the part. He wins the big silver cup, prize for his costume. The fiancée gets him out into the moonlight and doesn't understand why he won't kiss her; but, though a tramp, he is at heart a gentleman. He makes a date, four o'clock the next afternoon, and promises her a kiss then; he also makes a date, the same hour, with the club's champion boxer with a promise to knock his block off, and he makes a date with everybody to give them good booze at the same hour. Next day, at four o'clock, there's a jolly gathering at the millionheir's. The last scene shows the tramp by his camp fire. It is commendable as a leading comedy. - The Moving Picture World, February 3, 1912
