    Eleanor Blanchard makes a decided hit

    Eleanor Blanchard makes a decided hit in this comedy of errors, due to the original mistake of William Bailey, who plays the part of a husband in search of a cook, going into a matrimonial bureau instead of an employment agency to find one. It did not strengthen an otherwise good comedy to make the manager of the matrimonial bureau play a sissy instead of a human being. The humor is not in one scene, but in many, not the least of these will be where the mistaken Scandinavian girl informs the astonished wife that "He ban my man; you get out!" Rattling good stuff. - The Moving Picture World, July 5, 1913
