Trivia:
The famous "Dressing Room Scene" was an on-the-fly bit added by Buster Keaton, who snagged unit manager Edward Brophy from the crew because he looked the part. The two men crammed, unrehearsed, into the cubicle, and ad-libbed the whole gag in a single take.

While plying his trade of TinType Photographer, Keaton meets up with Sally (Marceline Day) who works at MGM. Being smitten by her beauty and charm Keaton contrives to visit her at her workplace and decides to move from Tintype to Movie photography with the inevitable catastrophic results. Sally is captivated by his naivety and abets him in his quest to become a top news reel man.
The movie is packed with hilarious gags and has a real story line. Marceline Day gives an accomplished performance and is a perfect complement to Keaton.
