Director Al Christie's films for Mutual-Strand were billed as "clean comedies", and while not entirely sophisticated, likely offered an alternative to the standard knockabout comedies of the day.

'Mix-Up' is one of a number of Mutual-Strand short comedies that saw it-girl Billie Rhodes playing opposite (or 'supported by' as the billing read) Jay Belasco, cousin of David. The filmgoing public of 1917 ate these pictures up, and the duo enjoyed huge success for a time.
