There were a few good bits in between the mostly repeated gags and lame fights.

A largely unfunny bit of slapstick fighting, with Charlie as a mostly unlikable, rambunctious waiter who seems ready to fight at all times. Because of his more edgy character, his pursuit of Mabel doesn't offer the same kind of sweetness or pathos that comes in a similar and much better early silent, The Tramp.

An excellent case of the "mix-ups," a gag of of which Chaplin would build a long career.
