The review
Edison had Porter make the same joke Biograph had already put out. A man advertises, and women chase him. A house can watch the reel. The title dresses him as a French nobleman in a New York paper. It is still a copy, and the long name does not hide that.
A lawsuit followed. Both played. The chase was worth stealing, which is the fact that matters more than the gag. I would not spend the week on this if Personal is available. Two reels of one mob do not add up to a wife, or to a new story.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Scooby-Doo
30 instead of 18
Scooby-Doo is still a comedy film, and it scores 30 instead of 18. What you gain is courage: They do go into the dark.
The eight
- 1Industry
No one works; Edison copied a chase Biograph had already sold.
- 2Household
A wife is only the advertisement, and the women are the chase.
- 2Piety
A lawsuit followed, which means the copy was not stopped first.
- 1Courage
He runs from the women he invited, the same Biograph joke again.
- 3Republic
A lawsuit followed, and both the copy and the original still played.
- 2Temperance
The chase was worth stealing, so the same gag was sold again.
- 1Truth
It is Edison's copy of Personal, not a new nobleman's story.
- 2Stewardship
After the lawsuit both played, so houses got the same joke twice.
