Notes: 1. The Pretty Girl in Lower 5, released on February 18, 1913, was originally scheduled for this date. 2. No synopsis of this film appeared in The Billboard, The Moving Picture News, or The Moving Picture World. It is believed that the Thanhouser studio fire interfered with the distribution of synopses for this film and also for The Floorwalker's Triumph (released January 24, 1913).

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, January 25, 1913:

This story of the timid clerk who thought he had found the luck stone of the great Napoleon, only to discover later that it was an onion, gets hold of the observer strongly on the first part. The part of the clerk would have been a little stronger in the latter half without so much of the burlesque touch, but the interest is held throughout.
