About Getting Up a Practice
Becoming impatient waiting for patients, young Doctor Bob Lyons is about discouraged. To add to his misery, his sweetheart's father, Mr. Irving, distinctly objects to Emily, his daughter, marrying Bob until he has a practice.
Directed by William V. Ranous, Maurice Costello, Getting Up a Practice leans on a strong ensemble — Maurice Costello, Clara Kimball Young, William V. Ranous — 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 1913.
