In this two-reeler, "Baby Peggy" Montgomery -- in December of 2012 she may be the last living silent movie star -- invades Chaplin territory as she becomes a match seller in a cold, snowy mews that looks a lot like the street set of Chaplin's EASY STREET. The jokes are an amiable mix of slapstick and mime as she does things like put hot potatoes in gentlemen's silk hats and apes the hoity-toity manners of the well-to-do.
Baby Peggy mugs engagingly for the camera. The photography is often old-fashioned -- her reaction shots are irised, a style which had gone out of fashion some time before, but suited the conservative style favored by the Stern Brothers, her producers. It's an interesting and amusing effort and short enough to engage the patient modern viewer who is not familiar with the conventions of silent films.
