Has no logic at all

A very amusing satire that makes the professional prohibitionist the butt of its fun. It is mostly the players and general handling that makes the laughter, for it surely doesn't convince and has no logic at all. Dan Mason is full of fun as the lecturer, who gets drunk on extra good cough syrup made on the sly by Edward Bouldon, who wants to be his son-in-law, but sells corks, and corks can be used in bottles and so is undesirable. Every one of the players does well. The author and producer is Charles Seay. A very fair offering, - The Moving Picture World, November 15, 1913
