An organ-grinder is plying his trade outside a housewife's window. She sticks her head out, and berates him to move on. He remains. The housewife retreats into her house. Happy Hooligan enters and persuades the organ-grinder to ambulate. From stage right enters a constable, and plants himself squarely where the organ-grinder had been. Here now, what's all this, then? The housewife emerges again, with a pail of water intended for the organ-grinder ... but she dumps it on the cop instead. (imdb)

It's always interesting to be reminded how much commedia dell'arte style farce was still going on in Vaudeville at this point, and Blackton did have his start in Vaudeville, after all. There's still not actually much to see here, though.

While amusing, the director of this made far better and technically inventive works later on in his career.

A good bit of early slapstick. It's nice to see director Blackton in an acting role.
