Tillie Wakes UpSynopsis   If the name "Tillie" appears in the
title and the film is made in the latter half of the 1910s, it's
a sure bet that Marie Dressler is starring. Here, she plays
Tillie Tinkelpaw, the put-upon family breadwinner, and her foil
is Johnny Hines as henpecked husband Mr. Pipkins. The pair
decide to escape for an afternoon from their horrendous mates
(Frank Beamish as Mr. Tinkelpaw and Rubye DeRemer as Mrs.
Pipkins) and go to Coney Island. They arrive via an ice wagon
and have a bit of Scotch to take away the chill. Naturally, the
liquor revs up all the slapstick antics to come. This was a
great two-reel idea stretched out to five (how many times can
Dressler sit on Hines and have it be funny?), but the stars'
talents and some very funny titles carry it through. The
scenario was written by Dressler's good friend Frances Marion. ~
