Its original caption is: "Everything comes to him who waits—and works. After several seasons of comparative obscurity as an Essanay leading-man, Bryant Washburn became a comedy star overnight and set the film world to talking about his 'Skinner’s Baby' and 'Skinner’s Dress Suit.' Bryant’s fame spread so fast that even the redoubtable Doug Fairbanks trembled in his boots. Born in Chicago, Bryant has always been a real home-town boy, but his car of destiny will now travel eastward and westward under his new Pathé management."
