The story

“Sikes, a gentleman of the Raffles order, reads in the paper that Mrs. Eldridge, a young society woman, who alleged that she had been robbed of her jewels, confessed that she had in reality pawned them—admitting that the robbery was a prearranged affair in which she played the leading role and her maid the supporting one. Sikes decides to have it appear that the lady robbed herself a second time. Disguised as a clergyman, he obtains the jewels. Naturally, everybody believes Mrs. Eldridge again guilty! And then—a clever detective turns up and shows public opinion mistaken by fastening the offense on the real offender.”

“A comedy from this house which introduces some novel elements. A jewel robbery was proved upon the confession of the principal to be a fake. Then a burglar gets to work and decides to have the next one real, and upon his success in this is based the story. Of course the public assumes that the second story is quite as fishy as the first, and not until a clever detective turns up and proves that a real robbery occurred will they believe it. The acting is sympathetic—one almost wants to say vigorous, and the photographer has performed his part satisfactorily. The combination of these elements has contributed to the success of the picture. Perhaps this film is no better than previous releases by the same house, but it is a better subject than one, at least, of its previous issues and it is handled to excellent advantage.”

“It is said by those who know to be just what a moving picture comedy ought to be. Roy Norton, the noted author, read the comedy in the script and writes: ‘It is ideal. It centers on a big idea and the writer keeps its incidents thoroughly subordinate to the main theme.’ Lloyd F. Lonergan, of the New York World, wrote the scenario and Anna Rosemond and Frank Crane play the leading roles.’”

“THIRD THANHOUSER RELEASE. She’s Done It Again! is the third Thanhouser release. It is said by those who should know to be just what a moving picture comedy ought to be....” (The balance is identical to the “comment” in The Moving Picture World, quoted above.)
