            Amusingly burlesqued

            "Barnstorming" in the west is amusingly burlesqued in this one-reel farce. The three act "drammer," played by the troupers, is a gentle reminder of the old ten-twenty-and-thirty days, and very funny. Harry Todd and Dick Turpin are the villains. Victor Potel and Margaret Joslin are a pair of laughable spectators. - The Moving Picture World, May 22, 1915
