Plot


As described in a film magazine,[3] because of his ability to fix things Dick Remington (Fairbanks) becomes known as "Mr. Fix-It" and enters the aristocratic home of the Burroughs as their nephew. Before long he has melted the stone hearts of three aunts and one uncle and won the heart of Mary McCullough (Hawley) in addition to setting aright the affairs of pretty Georgiana Burroughs (MacDonald) and Olive Van Tassell (Landis).

Reception


Like many American films of the time, Mr. Fix-It was subject to restrictions and cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors cut, in Reel 5, the policeman arresting women in kimono coming from raided house of ill repute.[4]


Preservation status


On July 16, 2011 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival presented a restored print of the film from George Eastman House.[5][6]
