 Matt Moore, the best comedian of the Moores, is Joe Benson the husband, and gives the poor man the helpless and pitt full look and manner that is great part of the comedy effect. Marjorie Daw is a pretty and fluffy little wife who doesn't understand until the very last. Betty Bouton is. very attractive as Barbara, whi is one of the so-called ''wives' Wesley Barry is in the juvenile role of the bell hop, who never throws up chance to make little extra coin.
