Getting one's wife by the pound is rather new as a farcical idea and it is not so bad as a maker of laughter either. One might meet a woman who weighed much and later meet another who weighed more. At the end, one, after choosing a fine, plump widow, might telephone for permission to bring the minister and then find the widow's midget daughter was the one he had proposed to, but this isn't quite so convincing, even in a farce. The final scene, where the sense comes in, is quite in keeping and the whole gave the audience a good deal of fun. - The Moving Picture World, December 13, 1913
