Walter MacNamara has written a most amusing script and George L. Tucker has produced it. It is pronounced burlesque. The fun is continuous from start to finish. The mirth springs from the settings, the story and the fine work of the players. Imagine the serious-faced William E. Shay in small-boy sailor garb being driven to meet his sweetheart Jane in a cab. The "cab" is a wheelbarrow. The cabbie is Howard Crampton, attired to the last thread in full coachman's regalia. William Welsh is the banker- villain, who tries to win Jane before she learns of the legacy of $15,000,000.63 which is coming to her; he even threatens to foreclose the mortgage on the family phonograph if the hand of the daughter is withheld from him. The Jane, of course, is Jane Gail, who in the opening scene goes out to milk the cow. She is attired in the latest mode; in the mirror suspended from the animal's haunches she arranges her hair before proceeding with her work. The picture is a laugh maker from beginning to end. - The Moving Picture World, October 25, 1913
