    Clever, breezy and bright

    Primarily a love story of an old maid and bachelor, the picture has a touch of liveliness in it that makes it a good offering. Clever, breezy and bright in its main situation, it gets over well and will be enjoyed by all. The photography is good. - The Moving Picture World, April 11, 1914
