A farce with a daring situation and not badly worked up; yet we can't call it a first-class offering. Perhaps the Producer, Arthur Johnson, wasn't in the mood for a farce. His work has some strangely weak points. That procession of the boarders into the hotel dining room wasn't good, nor was the jumping into the foreground of those two young people just after Johnson learns that his wife is at his aunt's, where he knows is his queer visitor whom he had been embarrassed into introducing as his wife. That "accident" is too thin (it might have been the fault of George Terwilliger, the author) and the secondary love story isn't farcical at all. One can imagine an ending in which Lottie Briscoe, after forcing Florence Hackett to listen to her explanation, would be seen with face desperate to get away from these queer people. The photography is clear. - The Moving Picture World, August 23, 1913
