Watch How Bumptious Papered the Parlor

The Edison Company offered a cycle of comedies directed by Ashley Miller and featuring John R. Cumpson as Mr. Bumptious. This one was promoted as the best Bumptious comedy yet to appear. Convinced of his own abilities, Mr. Bumptious tries to save money by wallpapering the parlor himself. The humorous results might have been predicted. Certainly the film develops logically and is easy to follow, even though this print lacks its intertitles. The camera is more intimate and the editing more fluid than previous efforts.
