Directed by Arbuckle himself, this short exemplifies a cost-saving strategy often employed by producer Mack Sennett--send funny people to some real-life place or event, and let them improvise. The result sparkles with more of Arbuckle's wry wit than typically found a place amidst the Keystone violence--this film sees one of the world's most beloved movie stars apparently goggle-eyed at the prospect of seeing how movies are made, and allows Roscoe a chance to interact with a Charlie Chaplin impersonator (Harry McCoy).
