Unusual Titles
The titles flip between the film's narration/dialog and metatheatrical commentary on the making of the film. While characters in Arbuckle's Keystone and Comique films frequently address the camera with smiles/winks/asides, this is the only one in this collection where the metatheatrics are in the title cards.
The titles also introduce some actors: Al St. John, Alice Lake as “Alice”, and Charles Dudley as “Jud Grew”! (In another video version of this film, “Jud Grew” is the name of Dudley's character). Although cast intros are common in silent dramatic features, they do not appear in any other silent comedy short in this collection.
Titles are commonly rewritten - not only changing over time in theatrical re-releases, changing for different state censors, but also varying among DVD releases. So there is always the question: how closely do these titles match the titles in the original release?
One way to approximate an answer is to read the reviews of that period. This is the only one I found that mentions the titles:
"The titles are examples of real wit": not a trait Moving Picture World reviews normally attribute to the slapstick shorts of Keystone and Comique. But this work is viewed as "a complete departure from the usual style of story used for the Arbuckle ribticklers". So the reviewer's response was similar to mine - but not completely: I came up a bit short in the "many mirth-provoking moments" department.
