4/10
Wildy Mack Sennett
13 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
You can tell by the slapstick that Mack Sennett wrote this one. While it is not real smooth, the slap stick is frequent & heavy. There are a couple of things that are pre-code. The woman & woman kiss, it's even a double one that is real amorous is something the code in the 1930's would have never allowed.

The other thing is a bunch of women playing football on a beach. They are tackling each other & kicking the ball. While women'd football has started at minor league levels in some areas of the US today, films of women tackling each other in this era are extremely rare. That includes the shot of a bunch of them after a play laying on their stomachs on a beach. Views of women's backsides like this were really baned in the days of the Hays office.

While the film is wildly organized, it is quite something to see the wild sequences and the lack of censorship working full steam in 1919.
