Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? In her whimsical, peevish way, Mrs. Dimple declared if Mr. Dimple could not pay her bills, she might find a man who would. Of course, she did not mean it, but that made no difference to Mr. Dimple. Romeo-Hamlet, late escaped from the “Nut” Foundry, appeared to convince Mr. Dimple that his wife had found the man. He was done with her. But Juliet-Ophelia made him wake up to the fact that accidents will happen.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 29 November 1913, page ?] Gives us the whole asylum and a few more. Some of them can act. William Murray, for instance, as Hamlet-Romeo, got laughs, but there was not a great deal of real laughter while it was on.
