Mr. Up receives a letter from his Neighbor, Calvert, just across the hall, to join them at the summer resort for a week's outing. Up immediately 'phones a baggage man and leaves word to call for his trunk at seven next morning. Seven o'clock arrives and Up's alarm clock does a merry jig on the chair beside the bed, but Up sleeps peacefully on. Awakening at last he discovers he has but fifteen minutes to catch the train, piles all his clothes into the trunk and sends it off with the baggage man.

    This farce was unfortunate in following a good Essanay picture, and suffered somewhat; but, compared with all the pictures we have seen today, it gives acceptable entertainment. It has a fresh situation, but was drawn out to a full-length reel, and parts of it are thin. Mr. Up, played by Howard Missimer, is an absent-minded man who gets up late and packs his trunk with all his clothes. The expressman takes it away before he comes to enough to find that he has only pajamas to wear. E.H. Calvert plays the friend who sends him the invitation, with Dolores Cassinelli as his wife, and Master Billy Calvert as his child. Wm. Bailey plays the butler, and Lily Branscombe the maid. - The Moving Picture World, November 30, 1912
