The Forgotten Latchkey (1913) Online

While staying at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Moore, some old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Burton receive invitations to a dance. The evening of the dance, Mrs. Moore tells them that she and her husband will be away for the night, staying at her mother's, and gives the key to Mrs. Burton so that she and her husband will have no trouble getting into the house when they return. As soon as the Moores and Burtons have driven away to keep their respective engagements, Maggie, the cook, also leaves the house; she is going to a wedding celebration and expects to be away all night and to return in the morning before her master and mistress get back. She tells the sleepy housemaid, Bridget, that she has the key in her pocket-book. When the Burtons get back from the dance they find that they have left the key behind. They ring and ring, but Bridget, who is a fat, sleepy individual, does not hear them. An attempt to enter the house by means of the cellar is futile. Burton does not have much trouble ...

This comedy picture gives us the adventures of a married couple who, having left their latch key on the bureau, can't get into their own home. It is very late, the cook is away at a wedding and the second girl is asleep and snoring louder than any doorbell rings. One will ask many times during the picture, "Why doesn't the man break a window pane to get in?" The expense would have been much less, for the taxi waiting before the door till morning cost $15.50. This keeps the comedy dull, it fails to get over strongly. The authoress is Mrs. Victor Koch, and it was produced by Ralph Ince. Harry Morey and Anna Stewart play the leading roles as husband and wife, who are locked out. Josie Sadler plays the cook; Florence Ashbrooke, the other girl, and James Lackaye, the cop; all add to the fun. The photography doesn't do the faces justice; but is fair. - The Moving Picture World, June 21, 1913
