Being able to view this short film is very neat. Seeing something so old preserved in such a state makes being able to witnessed film history quite satisfying. However, it's age doesn't forgive the material itself to be quite boring. I have no idea if faster prints of the film exist, but seeing a young man swing around clubs slowly isn't anything too spectacular. Definitely a form of entertainment from an era long gone.
