About The Hobo's Rest Cure
Bill Grogan, a happy hobo, having successfully eluded all sorts of allurements to go to work and having discharged himself from several easy jobs after numerous attempts to get painlessly injured, frightens a chauffeur into believing that he had been injured by a baby carriage. Eventually he reaches the limit of his restful ambition by getting a cot in a hospital.
Directed by Chauncy D. Herbert, The Hobo's Rest Cure leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Commerford, Joseph Hazelton, John Lancaster — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1912.
