User Reviews

Every smile and laugh in this very amusing comedy rises from the situation; some of its action seems a bit forced, but there is nothing that is "tacked on"; most of it seems natural and most of it is clever. It is good-natured, and the fun comes from putting Mr. Brown (Mr. Johnson plays the part), a very simpleminded, elemental man in a social atmosphere very up-to-date and sophisticated. Brown is such a bookworm that Mrs. Brown (Miss Lawrence) is exasperated into taking up residence in the divorce colony at Reno. Brown follows. Mrs. Brown hasn't yet been able to get her papers and Brown is, of course, still her husband. He won't accept the situation. It is a very acceptable comedy. Some in the gallery may not appreciate all of it, nor understand every one of its allusions, but it is a very clever picture. It will be popular with people who know a thing or two. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
