    Will prove acceptable

    Weber and Fields have made millions laugh with the aid of just such comedy business as is employed in this release and the picture, purporting to be nothing other than a melange of rough-house happenings, will prove acceptable on the majority of programs. This one-reeler proves that hitting people over the heads with bricks and mallets can sometimes be made amusing. - The Moving Picture World, June 13, 1914
