Rich in touches of human truth

Queer characters well played under the direction of Lee Beggs, who also plays the "sick" financier, make fun in this satirical farce at whose climax two undertakers fight for the custom of a corpse only playing dead to see the joke through. It hardly could be called a delightful theme, but it is rich in touches of human truth. William Shea and Josie Sadler help, as do Hughie Mack and George Stevens, the undertakers. Serviceable offering, by Robert E. Innis. - The Moving Picture World, June 6, 1914
