Max Linder in Max makes a touch
Pathé comedy written by Max Linder. Cast: Max Linder, André Urban Premiered in Vienna on April 1, 1910. Released in the US on June 17, 1910 “We may not approve of the manner in which Max secures money from his father, but we cannot resist laughing at the droll comedy of this humorous French comedian. Max and brother are out of funds, and papa refuses to thaw out. Then we see the old gentleman setting out with his young wife for the theatre. At the corner a robber holds them up, grabs the lady's purse and runs. A policeman appears and follows the thief, who drops the empty purse, which the officer returns to the lady. Next we see the policeman and the thief taking off their disguises. They are Max and his brother.” (The New York Dramatic Mirror, Jun. 25, 1910)
