    The opening scene in an actress's dressing-room of this comedy impress one as having life. It is due not alone to the acting of the heroine (Florence Lawrence), and the dozen or so who support her in this scene, but to the grouping and whole layout of the scene, which are perfect. The rest of the story has a mountain resort for its background and is what may be termed a flirtation comedy, in which an actress comes between two simple lovers. Some of these scenes drag a little, but the picture takes life again when the repentant actress coaches the younger girl in flirting and dresses her up in a truly becoming harem skirt. The final scenes are lively and amusing, and the picture as a whole is a very good comedy. - The Moving Picture World, August 12, 1911
