Edward Coxen, Winnifred Greenwood, John Steppling, George Field and Lizette Thorn comprise the cast of this excellent one-reel picture. The story has something original about it and holds the interest well. It is the story of how an unscrupulous politician tries to buy up the newspaper belonging to the man whom he enjoins bis daughter not to associate with. A maid in the politician's household is bribed to call on the young man late at night, for the purpose of establishing a scandal which he is to be forced to sell his paper in order to hush up. The arrangements, overheard by the daughter, are frustrated by her locking the maid in her closet, and impersonating her herself. The result is comical and satisfying. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1915
