Two young men split a pitcher of water into two bowls and wash their faces. They also play tricks on each other.

There writer/director/producer/co-star of this movie is Walter Gibbons, a name that is new to me. The IMDb credits him for ten movies produced and directed in 1900, for his own company and is silent. Some googling reveals that Sir Walter Gibbons (the knighthood came later) used Charles Urban equipment, made sound films in 1900 and was accused by Urban of plagiarism. Gibbons did not challenge Urban to a duel. Instead he went back on the boards, made a fortunate marriage and opened the London Palladium in 1910. I suppose if he hadn't quarreled with Urban, none of the later stuff would have happened.
