Synopsis:
Mary Jane lights the stove with paraffin and lives to regret it.
Review:
The amusing tale features much mugging to the audience on the part of Mrs Smith, as well as trick shots as she disappears up the chimney and later returns as a ghost in the graveyard (double exposure). There are also vertical wipes and cut-in shots of closer action.
