Comic dialogue.
Absurdity of plot is permissible when the comedy results achieved thereby justify, but Mabel Carruthers and company (the latter two men) have missed the above mark by a mile. Miss Carruthers portrays a sort of a sophisticated simp hired as an office assistant by a crook who has a diamond necklace concealed in a grip, the mate to which she carries in her hand. Later they are switched. She drinks copiously from a large bottle and achieves the most unique drunk seen in many a day. The dialog is unfunny, tiresome and dull. The situations without the comedy results impossible. The act won't do.
