This comedy has a very amusing situation, which was played theatrically at the expense of the characters and also, one feels, at the expense of a good deal of fun. There is not much difference between the irascible aunt of the story and the objecting parents of many other films, though the part gave an excellent chance of sympathetic acting. It might have contributed much more to the fun than it did. There is a pinch of "The Hoyden" in Miss Lawrence's interpretation of the professor's ward, but it isn't nearly so fine. She seemed occasionally trying to heighten the effect by funny attitudes, such as turned-in toes. Yet her playing was more consistent than was Mr. Johnson's professor, who now and then seemed to fall out of his character altogether. The picture, just as it is, is good, so good that one wishes it had been treated as it deserved. The backgrounds are all very pretty, especially the garden, which is a beauty. - The Moving Picture World, June 24, 1911
