This appears to be A MONTANA LOVE STORY, a Powers Photoplay released by the Motion Picture Distributor and Sales Company, January 17, 1911, even though the character names are different and the sign on the back of the restaurant says "best in Nevada" (a review comments on this error). Unless it was later remade by Powers, which I can find no record of, this is what it is. In any event, how many Powers comedies survive to look at period?

Richard - thanks for posting this. The dude that the cook falls in love with is a youngish Stuart Holmes, who appeared in other Powers shorts at the time like THE WOMAN HATER ('10) with Pearl White (link below)

Son of a gun, I think that is Stuart Holmes, didn't spot him behind the muttonchops (or the Huntley Archives watermark). He was balding even then (serious comb-over stage).
