    In this two-part comedy "Chick" Evans makes his first appearance before the camera and never once does he look it in the eye. Mr. Evans is a Western amateur golf champion, and attempts to teach Sweedie, the cook, who has fallen heir to a fortune, to play golf; here is where the fun comes in. She breaks all the clubs, swinging on the balls as though she were knocking a "home run." It all ends in a riot, in which Sweedie cleans out the police force and everything else in sight. - The Moving Picture World, October 17, 1914
