Quite entertaining
by deickemeyer2019-07-04

"An old idea worked out in a new sort of a way, regarding a girl who has a great ambition to become an actress. Her sweetheart cures her of her folly, with the assistance of a leading lady of a stranded professional company. It is quite entertaining to see how Susan succeeds in making herself ridiculous and realizes that a stage career for her is impossible. This contains a good lesson to girls with foolish ambitions. A very good number. - The Moving Picture World, January 9, 1915..."
