We like her discipline of the brute

In the early scenes, Alkali needs a mother-in-law who can trounce him well and soon, to the spectator's contentment, she comes. We like her discipline of the brute, but he turns, gets hold of a book on hypnotism and she is powerless. As soon as the book comes into the picture, its quality changes and the fun almost drops out of it; it becomes burlesque. Yet the audience seemed to like all of it, liked the way mother "comes back." The camera work is clear. - The Moving Picture World, May 24, 1913
