    There are two snappy comedies on this split reel and it makes a good offering. The first brought out a roar of hearty laughter. The situation seems, at first, so queer that we didn't believe it was going to get over, but it results in the most amusingly preposterous mix-up of family relationships imaginable and the audience got hold of it in first-class shape. The house was full of laughter. The players show excellent team work and carried the picture well. - The Moving Picture World, September 13, 1913
