The final "THE END" title card is mis-labeled "Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts" - which is actually a different Keystone comedy production.

Not great...but also not bad for 1917.

My score of 6 reflects how this comedy short from Keystone relates to other comedies of the day. By today's standards, it's not especially memorable.

While the IMDB summary says the film is about a landlady trying to stop residents from disappearing without paying, this is only the first portion of the movie. The rest consists of Ambrose (Mack Swain) playing the field. He asks a girl to elope with him but soon sees another lady he wants more. How long can Ambrose run about cheating on his fiancee until she catches him?

The best parts of the short are the intertitle cards and the car chase at the end....otherwise it's just okay. Part of the problem is that Swain is fine as a villain but carrying a film on his own isn't nearly as effective.
