Are Waitresses Safe?
Chaos reigns in Louise Fazenda's kitchen as the cat stalks and consumes the bird in the cuckoo clock and the baby paints its face with jam. In her next job in a restaurant kitchen, Louise scrambles up her powder puff and her biscuits. The cook orders her to lighten them up. She blows them up like balloons, but they come out like rubber balls and so she is bounced out of that job. In her next position as housekeeper to a rich family, she throws a party for her friends when the family goes on vacation and they turn the house topsy-turvy.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This 1917 short constructs its comedy from a cascade of professional disasters, relying on silent-era physical humor and clever sight gags involving transformed household items. It explores the absurdity of domestic labor through escalating chaos and playful defiance of order.
What lingers after the final reel is the sheer joy of visual invention and a subversive celebration of mischief over duty. A brisk, charming relic of early film comedy. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Hampton Del Ruth
