It made hardly any laughter

by deickemeyer • 2018-09-30

"There is very little that is new or truly funny (unless the fat cook's dance above while the plaster falls in the room below is funny) in this farce. It will please those who have seen very few or no pictures, but here on Broadway it made hardly any laughter while we watched it. There is clever acting in it and none will deny that the ending joke gets over, is really funny. Jane Lennox is the author and is was produced by Lee Beggs. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914..."
